Hearing Europeans mock how much we pay for health care never gets old. I mean, the stupid high bills just don’t get the point across.I would be ecstatic with a single payer system supported by taxes. A system that doesn’t rely on an insurance company whose sole purpose is to deny me the coverage I am due. My favorite part is the fake astronomical prices they put on stuff just to charge insurance companies a “negotiated” price.I get that we, as a nation, truly suck. At best we are a corporatocracy. At worst, a straight oligarchy. We’ve got a feeble minded , racist, oompa loompa running for a second term as president. And he has a legit chance of winning! There is almost no part of our society that does not suck in some way. And the vast majority of us know it but the government is so bought and paid for that no real change is possible without bullets.But please, my European brothers and sisters, can you please stop rubbing it on our faces. I assure you we hurt enough already.(edit: a word)
Lame! Well, also true, the dairy mafia is crazy, but you can do better.
Forest fires, no houses despite all the land and technology, the telecom mafia, Jean Chretien’s face, seal clubbing, that SS officer we just did a standing ovation for in parliament. And of course, if you need the big guns, native genocide.
It’s also not good cheese to start with. I think one British immigrant/expat described it as orange-died blocks of fat. I’m not entirely clear if that’s just because we’re tasteless heathens, or because the cheese making is also managed by the government monopoly with no concern for competition.
You guys pay for surgeries??

Agreed. Like any cheap shot, it must be used strategically to remain classy.

Edit: Of course, using all your shots at once in a busy place would be more American! BAHA! See what I did there???
It’s simple, we mock the costs of the American healthcare system, and mock prices of the Canadian cheese supply.

So do you, just with taxes.
Except your taxes as an american are often higher, but don’t help you in any way.
