Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y'alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.

Any source/article on these "people dying in ER."? I do feel that Manitoba healthcare has been getting worse in the past few years but even at it's worse it's still a great system to be in. The only consideration we have is if it's convenient for us to access healthcare. We don't need to worry if we can afford the doctor's visit. We have affordable medications. Also we don't need to worry about our families even our extended families because they are taken care of whatever age they are or whatever employment status they have.

I was referring to Brian Sinclair, which was ages ago now, so tbf that is out of date. Hopefully some policy changes have been made since then.
