The NIH says around 26,000 Americans die from lack of healthcare every year
Second street org reported 23,746 people died on waiting lists in Canada a year or more ago
26,000 Americans in 2006. Might want to look at dates on the studies. I can’t find a study about 2025 but everything I’m finding suggests it’s up double to triple that now

…socialized healthcare isn’t inherently inefficient and expensive poor-people-die healthcare isn’t inherently efficient. Plenty of Americans die on waiting lists too, and Germany has shorter waiting lists than us.

For the second stat, you’re implying a causal relationship. What if they’re waiting to see an eye doctor for their annual exam and they get hit by a car?

Idk bro, the study was done from April 2024 to March 2025, so it finished last year but started the year before?

Even if it quadrupled, it would still be a significantly lower per capita rate

There’s a reason they always use Canada as an example and never Germany, the Netherlands, or Switzerland

Very true but that doesn’t take into account economies of scale or the fact that we have the most prestigious medical programs in the entire world
