    That tracks. I currently have better regard for Canada than I do the US, and while Canada has problems like anywhere else, they’re not charitably described as “your countrymen elected a felon who already did a bad job” as president. And the healthcare system is just… Better.

      There are two kinds of people that think our healthcare system in the US is great.

      1. The rich who can just pay for whatever they need.

      2. Those that never utilize the system at all in any form beyond maybe basic checkups.

      Absolutely anyone else can tell you the entire thing is a shit show. Especially those that work within the system. There will always be some living in denial, just like there were pro-COVID nurses and doctors, but the vast majority will tell you the system is broken by design.
