No one mentions their wait lines.

2018-07-18 10:59:50 UTC  

Or high taxes.

2018-07-18 11:00:37 UTC  

yeah, but uk has universal healthcare... and lower wait times.. and lower taxes (than the average state)

2018-07-18 11:01:25 UTC  

the only people who dont get gov healthcare in the US, are the ones that contribute to the medicare(or ACA) budget 😛

2018-07-18 11:01:39 UTC  

which doesnt seem very fair to me

2018-07-18 11:02:01 UTC  

'Canucks and their universal health care'

2018-07-18 11:02:04 UTC  

'Wait lines'

2018-07-18 11:02:06 UTC  

'High taxes'

2018-07-18 11:02:14 UTC  

The misconceptions never really end do they?

2018-07-18 11:02:36 UTC  

The wait lines arent really a Canada thing, they're a ontario thing. Go to Alberta and you'll pretty much never fucking see one

2018-07-18 11:03:05 UTC  

Taxes, i forget how exactly they compare to the US, but they're not all that high compared to europe iirc.

2018-07-18 11:03:12 UTC  

And the healthcare isnt quite 'universal'

2018-07-18 11:03:17 UTC  

in the way the NHS for example is.

2018-07-18 11:03:19 UTC  

I like that I can walk into a local docs ... no forms to fill in... see doc, get what I need.. go home

2018-07-18 11:03:33 UTC  

Pretty much works like that here too.

2018-07-18 11:03:56 UTC  

The 'universal healthcare' covers doctor and hospital visits, and involves price controls on some medications

2018-07-18 11:03:59 UTC  

or just phone 111 and get whatever medical advice from a doc you need

2018-07-18 11:04:21 UTC  

However, generally speaking, if your doctor prescribes you something, you need either insurance or to pay for it.

2018-07-18 11:04:44 UTC  

You dont have to worry about anything if you're in a hospital though

2018-07-18 11:05:15 UTC  

the US medicare budget... per capira is $8508 ... in the UK the NHS budget is $3500 per capita

2018-07-18 11:05:46 UTC  

Also, even for Ontario

2018-07-18 11:05:54 UTC  

The waiting lines thing is really played up

2018-07-18 11:05:57 UTC  

compared to the reality

2018-07-18 11:06:05 UTC  

our budget per person is lower and we have lower wait times, higher standards, several other stats were higher....

2018-07-18 11:06:22 UTC  

the only stat that was similar to the US was the health of our people 😛

2018-07-18 11:49:30 UTC  

I just finished listening to Queen 1

2018-07-18 11:49:39 UTC  

Holy shit the album is amazing

2018-07-18 11:50:09 UTC  

Though Freddie hadn't reached his peak singing back then

2018-07-18 11:50:22 UTC  

He sounds like a teenager who's balls haven't dropped lol

2018-07-18 11:50:58 UTC  

But the production, the writing, the opera bits are some of the best I've heard in music history

2018-07-18 11:51:46 UTC  

Very few bands come even close to the scale of queen's music

2018-07-18 11:52:22 UTC  

I cannot recommend it enough
