Canada my guy. We can go to the doctor, but many people do not have a family doctor to go to. You can go to the hospital for free, but assuming the hospital is open (brain drain means closed hospitals) you’ll be triaged and if you aren’t actively dying, you’ll have to wait literally 24 hours to be looked at. That’s where “Universal Coverage” ends. My employer covers my dental, vision, pharmacare, mental health, and physio. If I lost my job, my girlfriend and I would be fucked. Not sure why I was downvoted. People mad at my reporting the facts for some reason.

Oh wow, I guess I’m not too surprised that Canada follows some of the US’ policies. I thought it would be closer to the UK or Australia.
