We certainly still have the rich vs poor struggle in Canada, but at least no one goes into debt for being sick. Also trying to get a Pharmacare bill passed to help with medication prices (especially for seniors on fixed incomes).
It's not a perfect system, but no one is turned away from medical help, just sometimes you have to wait a long time for tests and treatment.
We all feel terrible for those US citizens who are just trying to survive, when those in power just keep driving up prices and rolling back human rights.
