Just so you know, a majority of Canadians want to either try or adopt the US system
The majority of Canadians, or the majority if Canadian politicians?
Canadians

That first link says that most people want the government to pay a lot more... That doesn't really seem like "we want the US system"
Idiots are everywhere on this shithole of a planet
I'll gladly swap citizenship with any Canadian! Come and claim your coverage by our wonderful privatized healthcare system! No take backsies
The Canadian system broke due to abuse by some types of immigrants, failure to attract and keep docters and nurses, and the never ending greener pasture to the south that offers doctors a more attractive and better paying lifestyle than Canada
the Canadian system is broken because we have to share a border with America. It wasn't the abject horror until the doctors and nurses quit from the covid days, and we flooded a bunch of bad Immigrants in who had no interest in doing anything but abusing the country for all they could cash out on.
I love that the blame has to be pushed onto immigrants who pay the same taxes we all do. Who receive the same socialised benefits we do.
Rather than blame the government rats that have been siphoning cash away from public infrastructure for decades. Have you taken a look at Doug Ford or Danielle Smith? Have you listened to Pierre Pollievre talk his dogshit plans for privatisation in Canada?
Why come so close to hitting the mark only to blame it on immigrants that only serve to strengthen the system if they too weren't taken advantage of by parliamentary ghouls.
