    Please do this, and do it right, Canada, so your neighbors to the South can use you as an example in trying to push for the same.

      This won’t work in the US because we NEED some sort of national health care system first.

      We’ll be shoveling money into medical debt even with UBI.

        While I agree with you overall, it’s not like it would be a bad thing if a whole bunch of folks who currently choose between healthcare and eating could start choosing both.

        The health care system in Canada isn’t that great right now. There is a huge shortage of doctors. You have to get prescriptions diagnosed and filled from the pharmacist and they are moving people into urgent care (you don’t see a doctor you see a nurse) as there is no doctors. the best you can hope for is you’re not in a situation where where you’re looked at by spiteful nursing staff who determine if you’re allowed to live. Or that you’re not in a hole between antibiotics where you’re hoping you can live long enough that someone will see you before the sepsis takes you.

      Lol I wish. I genuinely do. But as long as we stay stubbornly opposed to basic shit that the rest of the world is doing like providing everyone with healthcare and maternity leave and stuff, there’s no way.
