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)
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
And the inefficiencies of state run hospitals
cause the shortages in Canada
By shortages we mean waiting times
@chad areas like Germany have a strong private sector
And health insurance mandated
No single payer etc, nothing like what Bernie supports
I seriously don’t see a problem with having a full private system with little to no regulations so prices can drop, wait times can go down and quality can rise
Not to mention it won’t be expensive on the tax payer
Or the budget
**also I’d like to add**
The US has such low wait times even despite the low doctor to population ratio it had compared to these other countries
Dude, anecdote time:
Someone really close to me is going through breast cancer treatment. She found out about it in December and already had mastectomy by January.
While researching, I found a Canadian post regarding someone with the same type of cancer. They found out at the same time, December. The Canadian is STILL waiting for an oncologist appointment.
Canada is one of the worst places to be for crirical health conditions.
Heyo

Folks, the Jewish People do NOT have disproportionate Influence in our great Nation. AIPAC, CPAC, UANI, J Street, the RJC, and the NJDC have come out to tell me so. Many such Cases!
Why you being such a liberal about this?
