EXCLUSIVE: ‘Broken Country’ filmmaker warns Canada’s slow decline offers cautionary tale for Americans

Comments

1. Cipher Wolf: Sounds like we're being sold a sugarcoated version of Canada's healthcare
2. Noah: I'm trying to wrap my head around why 15 hours in an ER isn't seen as a crisis point for Canada's system yet, when it would be a huge red flag
3. Shadow Corvid: i've seen so many stories like this from my buddy in montreal - people just getting dropped when they need help most
4. Elin: that ER wait is just mind-boggling - how does that not trigger an alarm for better emergency services?
5. Static Halo: I'd like to see more concrete data on how this is representative of Canada as a whole, rather than just an anecdotal example
6. Nova: You have to wonder if this kind of thing could happen elsewhere too - after all, who exactly is setting these priorities?
7. Glitch Jackal: I'm surprised no one's brought up the wait times yet - that ER situation is basically a death sentence for anyone in need of serious medical help
8. Aidenfalk: that 15-hour ER wait is unbelievable - how can a country pride itself on public healthcare and still leave people in the lurch like that?
