Toronto hospitals are so overflowing with patients - and were before COVID - that it spurred a new phrase called “hallway healthcare”. It’s no secret to Canadians or their government or their news sources.
People have been calling for universal health care for a long time now. Every industrialized country on earth except the US has figured that out by now.
We are the only industrialized first world country that doesn't have universal healthcare and doesn't have the option of a natural immunity card in lieu of vaccination.
Hmm...wonder if Pharma and the insurance racket has anything to do with that...

Not sure this is the time or place for bragging on Canadian healthcare. It’s not without its own major problems.
It's interesting that the gap in lifespan between Canadian and Americans continues to widen with Canada living longer than Americans every year.
This chart is out of data because the gap is wider now but still shows my point
After all, this is about saving lives, so why doesn't the government off free epipens or chemo for people who need it?
You liberals can't be happy with the most contagious illness having free vaccines... you want everything to be free. How about you get a job and pay for stuff?

Nothing is free.
Someone is paying for it. As it relates to Covid vaccine, the Federal Government created new debt to pay for it.
Interest on that debt is paid for out of General Revenues. As I understand it, when the vaccine is administered by a private company and the inoculated has insurance, an admin fee is charged back to the insurer.
When people are hospitalized due to severe Covid symptoms, the patient is responsible for the bill. Hopefully they are adequately insured to help with the expense.
Insurers pay claims out of insurance premiums. All insurance, public or private mutualizes (socializes) risks.
The US does not have Universal Healthcare and no one is required to carry health care insurance.
More lies by the MSM. It's not highly contagious and it's not wiping out millions. Nice try though.
Thus far 223 million case of Covid have been diagnosed, worldwide. Likely as many cases were never diagnosed among those who were asymptomatic or tests were not available.
Covid related deaths are 4.6 million +, worldwide.
The Delta variant is highly contagious, especially among the never vaccinated.

If you want these things then you should be for "UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE".
Oh Wait !
That's "Communism" as your American Capitalist Health Insurance Companies drains your "POCKET" dry and wont even cover all of your "ailments".
