The only country in North America that doesn’t have a form of socialized health care is the US.
No not North America, just America, Canada has free health care
Mexico too
We (debatably I’m sure) claim invention of free healthcare.
Edit: we really didn’t invent it. But it’s one of those things they taught us anyway.
If the claim of invention instills a sense of pride that prevents assholes from tearing it down, then keep pushing that story.
I’m in the US, and every time some right wing jackass mentions Canada’s healthcare, they pull a story out of their ass about someone who died waiting for care. Conveniently ignoring the large number of people in the US who die without even considering the possibility of healthcare because they can’t afford it. Left unsaid: “You don’t understand! The person I know who died was white!”
It hasn’t always been free in the UK. It was introduced after WW2 and has been a much-loved part of our society ever since. We even had a section of the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony about it. The only people who don’t like it are right wing arseholes.
