The scary thing is that despite the full socialized medicine, the United Kingdom has a higher life expectancy than the USA according to the UN stats. On the bright side, not even Bernie Sanders is calling for more than socialized insurance like Canada has which is less onerous than the full socialism of Britain.

In Britain, those who can afford it can choose to buy extra private insurance and go to private doctors. In London, the doctors are all located on Harley Street. I don’t think you have that freedom in Canada. I don’t think there is any private care in Canada.

The scary thing is that despite the full socialized medicine, the United Kingdom has a higher life expectancy than the USA according to the UN stats.

From stats I've seen, when you compare apples to apples (aka white people to white people) the life expectancies are roughly the same. Also things like literacy rates and crime rates even up. The USA is and always has been, far more "diverse" than any European country and so straight comparisons between them and us are not really valid.

Transport Chicago to Britain and see what happens to those statistics.
