U.S. President Donald Trump says Canadians would have “much better” health coverage if Canada became the 51st state.
He made the remarks during a briefing in North Carolina, where he toured areas struck by Hurricane Helene on Friday.
“I would love to see Canada be the 51st state,” he said. “The Canadian citizens, if that happened, would get a very big tax cut – a tremendous tax cut – because they are very highly taxed.”
“They’d have much better health coverage. I think the people of Canada would like it,” said the president.
And American can also have the same long wait times.
The main difference is Canada’s healthcare is paid through taxation, as it should be in every nation. Nobody should be avoiding seeing a Dr when they need to because it’s too expensive.
Canada has its failings, and our systems are not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than America’s.
