@DyDave conservative political parties are trying to dismantle Canada's single payer Medicare. It's scary what is happening here.
Oh, they so desperately want to do it here too, but we simply won let them.
An anecdote:
A few years ago a conservative treasurer suggested- and only suggested - adding a $7 co-pay for GP doctor visits.
He had to resign from Parliament to protect his party against the vicious backlash. π
Wow! I was born and raised in MN, with "MN nice". Always loved Canada & Canadians and thought they were even nicer than us. Never thought any could do "vicious"! But good on you & your fellow countrypeople! We really need that spunk and drive here to send all of the fascists vulture capitalists back to their dark holes!
π I was born in Canada but my anecdote is about my adopted home Australia.
Canadians are super cool though! π¨π¦

To be fair, it is complex but the consumer inevitably wins.
Where I live, health insurance companies and pharmacyβs are regarded as blue chip because theyβre guaranteed a stable income.
The government negotiates the price, enforces it, and reliably pays what it owes.
Business β€οΈs that kind of stability.
