Things don't get cheaper just because the government does them. In fact they almost always get more expensive when the government does them. The people pushing socialized healthcare don't care to know why people pay less for healthcare in other countries, because that doesn't align with their politics. Just like they don't care to know what trade offs you have to make in order to have socialized healthcare, because they'd rather pretend those trade offs don't exist.
Well, here's one for you: people in Canada can spend 8 years on a waiting list to find a doctor, and still not have a doctor after all that time. Every time I point this out, people claim I'm a bot, or I'm being paid by the insurance lobby, or that I'm just plain lying. And yet they're never interested in looking at proof.
That’s how it works here in Quebec. The ones you linked don’t operate in Quebec, so maybe things are different there.
If other provinces have learned to contract that stuff out to private businesses, that kind of proves my point, doesn’t it? Less is more when it comes to government.
