  • You might have to wait if what you have is a non life threatening condition as people who have a life-threatening condition will take priority over you no matter who you are. It is the trade-off for a more cost effective system. But after you’ve received your treatment you leave the hospital without even seeing a bill except maybe for a parking fee.

    Meanwhile in the US, unless you are wealthy enough to afford to pay for your own healthcare or at least a premium health insurance you are left to wait with life threatening conditions and might even be left to die by your insurance company who will purposefully delay until your death to maximize their profits. And then they’ll still send you an eye-watering bill on top of having charged you a premium that is twice what Canadians pay in their taxes for their healthcare.
















  • The original usage of the word “outlaw” used to refer to a status given to a person as a punishment for failing to show up to court after being given multiple chances. It was a severe punishment. This status meant that they would no longer be subjected to law, but also that they would no longer be protected by it. Anyone could do anything they wanted to an outlaw and would not be prosecuted for it.

    Trump just made himself an outlaw. If he is no longer being held accountable by law, he shouldn’t be protected by it either.
