If you think free healthcare is horrible, then you're brainwashed.

I encourage you to go get treatment in Canada and compare it to the treatment in the US yourself instead of basing your “facts” on the quality of US care off information taken from sample surveys.

You quickly realize that the US offers far better healthcare all around.

As for mortality and disease rates etc, those are highly circumstantial and often based on individual health.

The same applies to infant mortality levels, each death isn’t just solely because “US healthcare bad hurrr durrr”.

Fewer beds? Well we often don’t fill them up anyways, maybe during the pandemic but even then most hospitals never reached capacity.

Fewer psychiatrists? Sure, but people tend to avoid the mental health system anyways in the US because of the stigma etc. I’m sure the need for more is out there, they’re just not asking for help. Less demand, less psych docs.

Doctors per capita? Irrelevant, having more doctors per capita does not mean you get a higher quality of care.
