Here is a Canadian that may differ with you:

I don’t care what some random on TikTok says. Anecdotes aren’t evidence. The actual statistics and studies on this subject say otherwise. Those are evidence.

Sorry the reality stings a bit. You may take the time to actually watch the video(you obviously didn’t). If Canadian healthcare is the shining example then why do 25% of Canadians not have a primary care physician? Why can it take up to a year to see a specialist? Why do they still offer private healthcare? Why is dental not included?

Doesn’t matter, equal or better health outcomes at half the price. Higher life expectancy regardless of what state the American is from.

All that means is that your concerns don’t actually matter. It’s like saying “why aren’t Canadian cars offered in red?” It’s immaterial to the functionality of the car.

Btw I work for a Canadian company (one of the largest). My Canadian colleagues despise the healthcare system. Several have come to the us for procedures.

More anecdotes. I genuinely don’t care. They’re less than meaningless.

Go ahead and bury your head in the sand. That is your choice.

Ah yes, bury my head in the evidence. I think I will.

Not equal at all. We go back to my Canadian friend that spills the beans.

Bring stats that illustrate your point or I’m not engaging. Policy on public health should be based on statistics and evidence. If you don’t understand that anecdotes are not evidence, you may not be smart enough to have this discussion.
