I think I'd rather wait longer for elective surgery than gamble on ruining my children's chances at going to university because I might have to spend their tuition on medical bills.

Don't most countries with socialized healthcare also have free (or affordable) education?

I think there is a bit of dark satire there because in the US you can go bankrupt from the medical care, _and_ then go into even more debt from sending your kid even to a public university.

Canada doesn't have free post-secondary education but we have socialized healthcare.
When my daughter is old enough, if she wants to go to university or college, I will do my best to pay for as much as I can. The great thing about this country is that if she gets seriously sick I won't have to choose between her health and her education.
The US healthcare system is barbaric.
