We hear Bernie and AOC etc.. saying free healthcare! Like in Canada! What's that? The actual healthcare that exists Canada, I'm not sure Democrats are interested in because it's not everything. What do we Canadians get for free? Hospital visits, doctors visits, lab visits. That's really it. And unless you're a special case, you're in a long line.
Everything else is through insurance such as drugs, teeth, eyes, physio, equipment etc.. which is what most Americans gets. The federal NDP has been trying to push for universal coverage in dental and drugs for decades and barely making ground.
Now I know competing insurance companies in the US sucks and paying deductible on humans and making claims like fixing a car is really stupid. But Democrats need to campaign honestly about this issue and fix it little by little to get traction, not that healthcare is free! Getting rid of deductibles for humans would be a good start.
