I wish this was mirrored and Americans would consume Canadian news instead of local news about Canada. Maybe some more ppl would build more nuanced understandin

  One step we can take for free markets in healthcare is to have transparency for medical procedures across all hospitals. You want to be allowed to take insurance money? Then you must report procedure costs for everything. This was pushed last administration but i dont believe theres any enforcement on it

  I mean, American companies pay a LOT for that message too. If Americans started wanting affordable services, think of how much money the pharma CEOs would lose.

  >Maybe some more ppl would build more nuanced understanding of how universal healthcare care works beyond “they all die in the waiting line” You want nuance? An amazingly high portion of Canadians don't have a family doctor. <https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/despite-more-doctors-many-canadians-don-t-have-a-family-physician-report-1.4611149). In Atlantic Canada (Context for non-Canadians: The four easternmost provinces) it is impossible, repeat *impossible*, to get a family doctor if you don't have one. <https://web.archive.org/web/20190226051406/https://www.thetelegram.com/in-depth/doctor-shortage/what-we-learned-and-what-you-said-about-doctor-shortage-in-atlantic-canada-286436/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/despite-more-doctors-many-cana...>. It's one thing to have shortages in rural areas—that happens in the US too—but Halifax?!? I've heard the same occurs in Vancouver too, and am hearing more reports of the same in Ontario.
