Is that Canada and Britain that the have an ever persisting complaint that the delays are absurd? Among the specific points that…
With Canada now ending the life of 100k citizens a year making their MAID program now the leading cause of death in the country out ranking cancer and heart disease? How strange that in Canada you can deduct health expenses on your taxes… what a strange thing for a place with free healthcare?
And in Britain you mean the scandal-free and extremely popular NHS? I guess you have a great point there because it’s not their elite would immediately come to the US for care.
The grass is not greener. This is a bad system made worse and worse by heavy handed government “helping”. Healthcare in the US only got worse after ACA.
You know that before the ACA, there were lifetime maximums and if you couldn’t get treatment you would probably die?
And all of those people with pre existing conditions didn’t have just “delays” getting healthcare they didn’t get it all.
So sure insurance is great in America for you if as your handle suggests you work in tech in SV.
I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’ve got an exit plan if I have to get insurance before I’m 65 amd may just retire here even after 65

Nope. Total MAID deaths (since 2016) is expected to reach about 100k in mid-2026. Most of them elderly people with a terminal cancer diagnosis.
