    You see how that would be bad for the economy, right? Good for individual workers, but bad for consumers since there’s no longer a person doing some service, like I don’t know, medical care. I fell off the bike in Canada and spent 7 hours covered in blood before a nurse saw me and bandaged me up.

    As an American I also had to pay $1000 USD for this (insurance will eventually refund this to me, hopefully)

      I’m Canadian, and I dont mind our healthcare system one bit. You only had to pay because you were American.

      It’s far from a perfect system, but at least I’m not riddled in medical debt, or have to financially plan to have my wife deliver a kid.

        It’s not about paying, my insurance will get me back. It’s about the wait time in the emergency room. If you’re not dying they never see you until early in the morning
