    We have universal healthcare in the UK and can’t access it either, so don’t romanticise it too much.

      Same in Canada because everyone in power would rather spend all their time energy and expertise dismantling the health care system and privatize it than in actually making it work the way it should.

      The only incentive to privatization is that a small group of people can make a lot of money.

      Keeping things public doesn’t make many people wealthy and it only provides equal benefits to everyone, which everyone takes for granted and never appreciate until those benefits are gone.
