34. Anyone living in a country with universal healthcare or a reasonable facsimile

Fri Jul 28, 2017, 10:39 AM

Jul 2017

could have told the GOP that messing with people's healthcare (i.e. limiting access and affordability) is just about the WORST thing a government can do. Maybe in a country where at least 50% of its citizens are under 40 the situation might be different. The US is not that country!
And I almost threw my cup of tea at the TV last night when that dreadful Stephen Moore was going on and on about how horrible "government-run" Canadian healthcare is, and how people want "freedom to choose". No you f'ing idiot, people want affordable access to good health care -- the kind I'm so very fortunate to have. (By the way, my doctor and I make all the decisions about my healthcare needs, and a cancer diagnosis 9 years ago was looked after promptly and successfully -- no waiting!).
