Read the title carefully

Canada doesn’t even have universal they have single payer

Also btw elder people have free healthcare in America

We have Medicaid

Yes

That’s irrelevant

Then why’d you show that second graph

Infact that supports my idea of private is more efficient

As even though excess demand is there it actually shows the wait times being low

If the second graph shows that our universal healthcare system for seniors works best

which is great as without Medicaid we would have lower wait rimes

Nope

Ye

Dude read the first graph firs

The title

Secondly Medicare creates excess demand which can lead to shortages

Even with this the us healthcare system has the lowest waiting times

Which is amazing

And shows without it, it could be lower

Yeah it also provides seniors with healthcare that a lot of them wouldn’t be able to afford

Yes

Which I’m not arguing here

I’m saying private is far better

Looks like it works great in Germany

And the first graph says “percent of people who could **not** get an appointment within two months”

Yeah

This means 39% in Canada could not get an appointment within two months

which proves the point of long waiting lines

Yeah Canada is messed up

Compared to 6% in the US

Notice how all single payers are worse off in waiting times

Compared to the private ones

Nobody denies Canada’s long wait times tho I just don’t think it’s ONLY due to universal healthcare since there are some countries with universal healthcare who have shorter wait times

Or hybrid systems ( France , Germany , Netherlands and Switzerland)

Canada doesn’t have uni

It has single payer

It’s hospitals are inefficient state run

That’s kinda sweet you care about older people

It’s due to single payer, the free rider problem created by the excess demand of such “free” products
