Naw....just coffee shop politics your hearing. "I know a guy who borrowed a wheel barrow from someone from Canada who said they had to wait 15 years for a cast for a broken leg."
I've lived here for over 65 yrs.... born and raised. I've worked outside my whole life on the tongs, and logging. Raised 3 kids and 6 grandkids.....noone in my family has ever had to wait for emergency aid or an elective procedure.
It is NOT free, it is hidden in our tax system, but it is affordable. There are waits, but they have developed in more recent years....probably more to do with 'newcomers' from out east and 'beyond', plus the socialist bleading heart mindset that overloads all of our social systems. It needs work....but it is more than affordable.
I am not bragging up ours and bashing yours. All of 'my people' are US citizens. Our ancestors settled during the 1600's, proudly fought in the Revolution and Civil War, and I fly a US flag beside the Maple Leaf in my yard for over 40 yrs, so I am NOT anti American, just adding some objectivity.
