    This is not the “same viewpoint Luigi holds.” The Canadian and British examples are grossly exaggerated to the point of being a bad faith argument, which leads me to suspect the US one might be as well.

    Lying about the problem doesn’t aid the cause; it harms it.

      It’s inaccurate in relation to how much a 43 month waitlist problem would cost in the US. Unless you’re seeking care that has been politicized, the US costs should have a couple zeros added to be a comparable exaggeration. Costs in this country seem like they should be a joke, but shit is really that expensive.
