Not very long ago, all things listed as being Socialist, Communist, or otherwise, non-capitalist or non-American were considered by most Democrats as vastly superior to our way of life. Michael Moore pitched this in one of his films, Sicko, where he basically downplayed just about every aspect of the US healthcare system in favor of the United Kingdom, France, Canada and Cuba.
The movie’s premise was that if you were treated in a Socialist nation where the healthcare is free and based on a not-for-profit system, you would be far and away in much better hands, medically, than if you had to seek treatment here in the United States.
For obvious reasons, the film that cost about $9M to make and brought in just under $25M was said to be a great financial success…but at what cost? It certainly didn’t present the other half of the story of socialized medicine where the wrong legs are being amputated or women are giving birth in waiting rooms. It certainly didn’t reveal the hidden camera video of the new resident in Canada who was seeking medical care only to find out that his “number” in line to see a doctor put him in the three-to-six month range.
The truth, however, is being revealed through no biased work by a washed-up director. Both the Canadian and the Venezuelan healthcare systems are collapsing in on themselves and that’s no surprise. What is a surprise is how quickly the systems are collapsing and may even disappear completely in the case of Venezuela!
Lmfao
Bob Zahn Yes You are ! Just like YOUR Nanny !
It never work long term !
50,000 surgeries delayed in gbr….
Yup, gotta love socialism…..
feel the single payer burn
We have “socialised” care in Australia and its not even close to falling apart and if your surgery is emergency, you’ll be getting it within 48 hours, with ZERO insurance.. so yeah not quite Republicans, lol
Actually Bob Zahn, it is very much a reality! I have family and many friends living in Ontario! The wait times are insane, not mentioned in this article is how the government decides what procedures you receive or don’t receive! Maybe , just maybe you should educate yourself rather than posting memes and simply repeat what the media spoon feeds you!
Is does here in Australia! ✌☺☺
You never get something for nothing and you can’t get the best by paying the least. That’s what socialism or communism says-neither have ever worked anywhere!!
It hasn’t collapsed but it does suck
