The comic in question makes the same uninspired complaints you've all heard before: long wait times, not enough doctors, not actually free. Spicier then her usual "look at me I'm a quirky girl" comics, but still long and unfunny.
The reactions, however, are hilarious.
"FREEEEEEEEEEEEE"

(this Marsey is so useful)
My favorite comments are the ones accusing her of being American.
She's Canadian, not American
I know, I read her responses, my meme still aplies tho
All in all, quite a bit of seetheposting from poor amerifats that can't afford insurance. Probably her best comic ever. !pinknames

It's hilarious how the post about brain washed and propaganda
Like neighbor who do the politicians work for and who are they in charge of? Ummm is it the government?
We've had shit healthcare under NDP, Liberal and PC governments. It honestly was probably the absolute worse during Bob Rae's NDP in the late 80s early 90s when they were laying off nurses and closing hospitals for โRae Daysโ because they'd literally nearly bankrupted the system and had no money to pay healthcare workers salaries.

Literally me. We've been waiting for so long for my foid to see a specialist that we've begun having serious discussions about going to NY or Michigan and paying cash to see one. You can at least write off medical expenses on your taxes now.
My gran also had to wait over 18 months to get a hip replacement which most wait a couple weeks for in the USA.
Stupid thing is I have a great job with super good private insurance for pharmacy, dental, eye care I'd gladly use it to go somewhere private.

Even Medicaid probably isn't that terrible compared to the rest of the world. We do have a lot of problems with our health care system (like the government getting massively ripped off) but I don't think there's many people uninsured anymore.

I would say they do have a job but Reddiors have zero ambition outside of doing the bare minimum so they can go home and play vidya instead of trying to get a career advancement.

There are some healthcare plans where if you don't read the fine print you can really get fricked. Example:
Had a kid a couple years ago, we were on foidwife's insurance. Figured it was state employee insurance, we're good, right? Well turns out that the max deductible still required 10% of all costs from the insured after that. $8k out of pocket as a hospital bill after insurance was a fricking surprise lmao
We were able to foot it just fine, but switched over to my insurance right after for a full coverage after deductible plan, and got a little more wise after that pain in the butt

Coinsurance is really common but there's typically a max out of pocket. Which was probably close to 8k for a family plan. So it's not really infinite, and you can't incur costs above a certain limit (probably around 10k for a family plan) per year.

Well whatever ours was on that plan, I can see how it would wreck the types of people who can't readily pay for a few grand within a month or two.
Funny side point: I remember going over the itemized bill and the dichotomy between two points made me laugh:

In my student days in Boston, I would just claim my income was 0 and file taxes in my home state. Got free healthcare no questions asked, it paid for an MRI I wanted, PCP, had good mental health coverage, etc. Even freeloaders here have better healthcare than most of the world

The important thing to understand is that though most Americans are doing well financially, the majority also think that other Americans are struggling. There was this Economist article where they polled people and 80% said that they were personally doing well but also 80% said that most people were struggling. Every American thinks there are faceless masses of struggling impoverished Americans crushed under medical debt and inflation, they just haven't met any.
