I dont know anyone in Canada personally, so no I dont have first person knowledge of Canada health misteps. But I am sure someone on this board can tell us an equally horrible story about the American health systerm.
Hell, I can tell you one similar! I had to go to a buddy of mines little sisters funerial, she died of sepsis when she was 14. Parents were upper middle class, mom was a nurse. They went on vacation to the snow and she got sick. Mom took her in, they diagnosed her with the flu, and sent her home. Mom knew something was up and took here back time and again in the next few days.(I dont know the exact timeline) and time and again they said “flu” even though she was a very sick person and mom is a nurse, she kinda knows SICK from ‘standard flu’.
Anyways her kidneys and liver shut down and she died, cause they didnt want to give her anti-biotics for the flu and didnt want to do any tests for anything else like sepsis.
My point was that as usual, the truth is somewhere between the extreams of Obama’s promises of universal great health care (for free to the average american to boot!), and the predictions of doom for all.
