We should have free health care. Just like Canada.
This ‘free health care’ comes with a 3 month wait time for a referral to a specialist, and another 3 months to get treated, with 2 month wait times for a CT scan, 4 months for an MRI and over a month for an ultrasound. Mostly it’s just easier not to bother. Half a million Canadians left ERs without seeing a doctor. And, in one year, over 23,000 patients died waiting for surgery.
While it may take months to see a specialist, “the median wait time between first request and referral was 1 day” for Canada’s free death health care system. In the last two years, 1 out of 20 deaths in Canada were due to euthanasia. Free health care deaths climbed from 4.7% to 5.1% of all deaths from 2023 to 2024.
Okay, forget Canada. Maybe we should have free health care just like the UK?
The British Dental Association says around 12 million people are currently looking for an NHS dentist providing free care as increasing numbers of practitioners turn their backs on the NHS in favour of more lucrative private practice.
According to OECD data, the U.K. has 49 dentists per 100,000 inhabitants — the lowest rate among G7 countries.
Concern over the state of children’s teeth comes amid a population-wide emergency in dental services that has seen people resorting to “Victorian-era” solutions such as pulling out their own teeth.
Starmer’s Labour government, elected in July, has promised to make 700,000 extra dental appointments available.
Dentists, however, said last month this will cover only a third of those who need urgent care.
You can have your ‘free health care’, you just can’t get an appointment and you will end up having to pull out your own teeth. And if you can’t handle that, just try Canada where you’ll be offered euthanasia.
With free health care, just like everything free, you get what you pay for.
But it’s okay. With a proper Communist government, the UK will just force the dentists to work. And then they’ll have the same high quality health care as Cuba.
Cuba’s legislation stipulates that services offered at any dental clinic are completely free of charge. In effect, primary care offered in the more than 200 clinics of this kind around the country is free.
Securing an appointment, however, can be a long and painful process and, no few times, people are forced to lose many days of work because of the many problems that undermine the quality of this service.
“I’ve come to the clinic three times to get a filling, and it’s always a different story: they have no running water, the instruments haven’t been sterilized, the power is out or there isn’t enough filling paste to treat all of the patients,” said Amarilis Soler, a single mother who works as a cashier at the electrical company.
Sure, you may eventually be able to get free health care. Just don’t count on free running water or free instrument sterilization.
