  • Well, it made me click.

    The silly thing about the US and socialized anything is that it gets treated like a binary system, where the US eschews socialized services because they’re socialist.

    Meanwhile, the people angrily speaking out against socialism creeping into their society are, of course, enjoying all sorts of socialized services.

    Speaking as a Canadian, we JUST got socialized dental care for seniors — a gift from JT on his way out the door. I can see my doctor for free, when they’re available, but medications and many specialist procedures are covered by my private insurance. Pediatrics and many immunizations are covered though.

    It’s not a black and white thing — the US should really be paying for minimum care for all citizens; anything elective would be up to the individual and their insurance.
