If the US system was so bad, you would not be seeing rising amounts of medical tourism to the country. Generally, when systems are bad, people flee it by any means necessary. Canadians come to the US because Canadian healthcare quality is g

Austerity like NHS spending increasing by 6.5% yearly since 2010? Absolutely absurd argument made from political propaganda, not fact. Not only has it increased in raw numbers, it's increased per capita, making this argument false by a
