Some elderly Canadians who own second homes in the USA are flying to the USA to get the vaccine sooner.
Do you think this is an indication that the American healthcare system is better than Canada? Really?!!?
Your federal tax dollars are buying vaccines for Canadians.
Canadians in Canada are receving the vaccine according to need, just like Americans. Now, who is paying for this? The government. (In other words, everyone.) When something really bad hit, suddenly America adopted "socialized medicine." Why? Because it makes way more sense.
Anyway, the point is this: under the US system, without a doubt at least a few American citizens will die from COVID-19 because the government decided to give it to some Canadian landowners first, for free.
Nothing about that indicates a better healthcare system.
- is that how you see it? really? how about the illegal Mexicans, el Salvadorans, Guatemalans?hotroddy
- if USA denied vaccines for any immigrant base you'd be criticizing the health care system for being discriminatory.hotroddy
- criticize the Canadian health care for being slow and bloated. Don't criticize the USA for doing the right thing.hotroddy
- What? I’m not criticizing immigrants, man. I’m saying that giving wealthy retired Canadians the vaccine first isn’t a sign of a “better” healthcare system********
- Lol Canadian snowbirds aren’t immigrants. Good grief!********
- what are you saying? Canadians shouldn't get it but Mexicans should?hotroddy
- everybody gets vaccinate. no questions asked. Stop trying to make it about wealth, nationality, or whatever insecurity you're hung up onhotroddy
- much better than a system that's asks for proof of citizenship.hotroddy
- and I have canadian buddies who are flying their parents down for it and don't own any landhotroddy
