Oh my god, I just saw a story about that on Facebook! And of course, the comment section was full of Canadians and people from other countries with universal healthcare talking about how that would never happen in their country. I don't understand why people in the US are so against it!
I really do wish we would split into two separate countries - peacefully, without a Civil War this time. Let the south/red states secede; they can fly their Confederate flags and idolize their statues and spread their germs and pay ridiculous prices for healthcare and insurance and keep Trump as their president, while the Union enjoys equal rights and universal healthcare and elects a decent person to lead us.
mare:
^ I second this idea!
Mistral:
Hey! I’m from Canada so don’t talk bad about my country!

No one's talking bad about Canada. My point was that I wish the US had the same kind of healthcare Canada and a lot of other countries have; I agree with the Canadians in the Facebook comments.

I saw that story! At least with the one I saw the guy's bills were mostly going to be covered by his insurance. But still yikes yikes yikes. I don't see why there are so many issues with getting health care in the states. The Canadian system is far from perfect but at least we don't end up with bills like that.
There was a dumb protest here about the closures last weekend but it was so unnecessary. Most things have opened back up. Only 25 people showed up to the protest... they could have had it inside LOL. On the flipside we had about 15,000 people show up to our BLM protest - it was peaceful and respectful. I wasn't able to go because we couldn't find anyone to watch Liam and I was mildly worried it was going to turn violent because there was an alt-right group saying they were going to use it as an excuse to start some shit. Glad to see that didn't happen.
My province is down to 5 active cases! Woooo
