We can talk about France if you want, where a family member was told to "suck it up" after an injury when he was able to go to a private hospital (he's got the money to consult specialists) and get his shoulder fixed there.



France is run by neoliberals, and ended up closer to the US than Canada. A better example of a properly-functioning healthcare system is Taiwan, or the Netherlands.


Did you live and experience first hand any of these two systems ?


I have, actually! Given that your cited example wasn't first-hand, I don't see how the question is relevant, though.


What I cited was 100% first hand experience, thanks for the condescension. I've experienced both systems.

I wouldn't wish either you or your partner to be told to pound sand upon experiencing an health related issue. To know that something can be treated, but to be told GTFO. I wished to have a discussion about the matter, but you are obviously not ready for this to happen.


No, it wasn't:

"where a family member was told"

That's second-hand. Accusing me of bad faith is a bit off-base.
