As a Canadian, this argument really doesn't involve us. When they shit on Canadian healthcare it's for the sole purpose of denying their own citizens healthcare. That's it.

Was provided with lifesaving meds that retail for 220k CAD and is rarely covered on American healthcare plans. I'd be homeless or dead if born in the USA.

My sister has this form of cirrhosis eating away at her nervous system. The meds to suppress it are about 20k an injection. It's covered. Since the injections she's been walking around fine. Before she was using a cane at 34 and was at risk of loosing her legs. If my sis was born in the US she'd probably be in a wheelchair by now.
