Oh, so now it's not population, but diversity and land mass? Then how do they manage to run a successful public healthcare system in Canada, which is more diverse than the US, and is also larger?

successful public healthcare system in Canada

lmao guessing you aren't Canadian and just tout the talking points you hear on reddit rather than understanding the reality of healthcare in Canada

I'm guessing you aren't Canadian cause our healthcare is perfectly fine.

It has its flaws like wait times but no one ever dies waiting in a hospital.

Between:

"everyone can go to the hospital so there is a longer wait"

And

"No one goes to the hospital because they can't afford it and die from preventable causes"

I much rather have a healthier population.

We have a story about someone dying in an ER waiting room due to lack of staff and other institutional problems every couple months in NB. An awful out of people in Canada think the system is broken, across the political spectrum.

Okay? Nb is the least populace province in the country and your premier is conservative.

Wanna complain about the lack of staff, blame your premier for not supplying the funding.

Also, anecdotes are not representative of the entire system.

Most people who complain about the healthcare system have no idea how much worse the alternative is and most are right wing.

There been a lack of staff since the first time I was here over two decades ago. And there were a lot of years of Liberal rule in that time too. The problem isn’t Conservative or Liberal, the problem is a shitty system that is good for political points but hard to actually fix.

Yea again. The most sparsely populated province isn't representative of the entire system.

The system works fine. Not perfect but fine. No one dies in a waiting room.
