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

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.

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?
