It's not obvious to me how subsidized healthcare is both better and cheaper in all cases. It certainly makes it more accessible for everybody, but that also has many downsides here in Quebec, including a very long wait-list for many types of surgeries, long wait-time for urgent care, many doctors/hospital staff are overburdened, or so I hear through the news.

I've also been meaning to read more on how the pharmaceutic industry works in the states, if the high prices on drugs are fair or not. Because even though prices may be high, it doesn't necessarily follow that the companies setting those prices are gouging people/being greedy, as many people claim.
