Still dodging! The point still stands, medical mistakes still happen in the private system across the border, you're blaming the public system because you're angry at it so you keep ignoring that the same thing could have happened in the USA (and a big part of the blame for your personal situation goes to you in fact, maybe it's because you know it but can't accept it that you're so angry, you should get that looked into, good news, psychologists are mostly operating privately... Funny how access to one is a major issue though ๐ค)
Yes you are dodging, instead of recognising that the same situation could have happened in the USA you're changing the subject and acting like it's ok that it happens in the USA because it's not related to government policies, to you those 800k misdiagnosis are ok because they happened in the private sector so we can ignore them because your opinion isn't based on facts, it's based on your feeling that the government is bad.
Oh so now per capita is important but it's not for how much is spent on healthcare per capita?
I've got another number for you... 28k
https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2019/10/28/thousands-die-from-medical-errors-yearly-notes-advocacy-group/
USA: 800k for 330m = 2.4/1000
Canada: 28k for 37.5m in 2019 = 0.75/1000
So tell me now, where do we see the most deaths per capita due to bad diagnosis? Do YOU understand what per capita means?
