    but it’s relatively higher in Canada because our wages are shittier.

    really…how much of you wages goes to healthcare every month? How many medical bills are you paying down? How about that 6 figure student loan?

    Every Canadian needs to live in the US for three years to realize how utterly full of shit and whiny Canadians are.

      It’s not a competition.

      Just because we have it slightly better than the US doesn’t mean we’re not facing our own set of challenges.

      Calling Canadians whiny is insulting and your comment deserves a good “fuck you” for its insensitivity.

      the difference is, canadians overwhelmingly support universal healthcare… yet these shitty privatization efforts slowly sneak in via USA influence. we’re not innocent though… we vote for shitty little cuts over and over, causing the system to crumble… but overall, people support the idea of universal healthcare… we’re just too shortsighted to keep it funded well…

      on the other hand, americans are very openly proud of their shit-ass system (you won’t hear much of them on lemmy though)… freedom! self-sufficiency! we don’t need the nanny state! your shitty conditions are directly of their own doing… not because some neighboring country is flooding their airwaves with propaganda and influence…

      being slightly better than america in some areas is not the bar we should be aiming for…
