    I live near Rochester, MN. This is hilarious. I’m sending it to many people I know

    Having been to the Mayo Clinic this year and having been totally fucked over and given no real help, I’ll take neither at this point.

      Having lived in both, Canadian healthcare >>> American healthcare. Walking out of a hospital after they saved your life with a bill of $0 is very nice in my experience.

        Funny picture, not accurate, but pretty funny. The US is the only developed nation with a life expectancy going down. Hovering around a low established in 1996. Canada on the other hand continues to increase with a tiny rate of growth dip during the worse of Covid. Worse pandemic in its history and all she gets it from it was people were living longer each year at a slower rate.

      The proceeding was a paid message brought to you by Atena.

      Atena, the last time we paid out was 1998 and we fired the person who did that so it won’t happen again.

      Hey, that’s how long the wait is at Mayo (unless you’re part of the Saudi or Jordanian royal families).

    American Healthcare - if you need it, you can get it done. The amount of people who come to America to get simple procedures done vs joining the Canadian wait list is more than you think, and all of this information is based on a conversation with - A Canadian.

      That’s not the advertisement that you think it is. If you think about it for even a moment you’ll realize that it’s because we prioritize the wealthy in the US. Sure a rich person from Canada can come down and get a procedure in a moment’s notice but how many Americans have to leave the US to get the procedure themselves or even worse are never able to get it at all?

      I don’t know about Canada, but I’ll continue getting medical help here in Europe.

      Ah yes. If you need it, you can get it done. Except for the fact that you probably can’t afford it.
