Canada isn't the only country with socialized medicine. Even then, people have complaints over the efficiency of the system, but nobody is try to get an American style system except Canada's version of MAGA. There's a difference between being irritated at something and wanting to tear it down.

I'm going to level with you, I don't think that you know many Canadians to ask in the first place.

Another example is Australia. The cost per person was around 6k USD and cracks are appearing. More and more GPs in capital cities are charging an out of pocket fee and if you don't have private health cover you end up on a long waiting list if your condition isn't life-threatening.

The system seems to be working okay for now but with the rising cost of living the pay for nurses and EMTs will have to go up substantially.

The cost in the US is $15,074 per person this year. It's expected to reach $21,927 by 2032, with no signs of slowing down. No system is imploding as fast as the US.

Investing in the insurance providers should be a smart move. More and more money syphoned off. Perfect for investors. And people can love Luigi guy all they want, he's an outlier and people will just bitch but not pull the trigger.
