    Honestly this is my main fear of any kind of single payer system. It’s not that the system can’t work well - but that it is a single target for right wing assholes to destroy for the sole purpose of saying that system is bad because they can destroy it.

      I live in Newfoundland – our healthcare system doesn’t suck because of right wing assholes exactly, in my opinion, it sucks because Newfoundland politics is rife with nepotism and cronyism.

      I would still rather this than a world where my family can be bankrupted if someone gets the wrong sickness at the wrong time.

      To be fair, in a system like in the US, right wing assholes can still destroy healthcare. The common denominator here is that right wing assholes are a death cult

        And don’t forget that every province refused to sign an agreement that locked the extra billions they received from Trudeau’s gov’t to only be spent on healthcare.

        Honestly, any problems a province is having is their own fault.
