It’s simply not true that Canada’s health care costs less than $63 billion. The actual number is closing in on $400 billion ($372 billion for 2024).
And it also should be noted that there are severe problems with our health care system. Severe nursing shortages and very long wait times for a lot of critical care, long wait times to see specialists, etc.
Our healthcare only has those problems after alot of cuts. When it used to cost more, it also used that money more efficiently and effectively. The cuts made it far worse than the respective amount of money “saved”, redistributed to worse projects is more accurate.
Not every person in the USA has insurance through United Health, but according to their own website, they “provide care” [sic] to 7.7 million Americans.
USian here. We have nursing shortages and long wait times as well, and the private equity fucks taking over our system are always looking for ways to make it worse for more money. One thing they’ve been pushing lately is trying to widen physician/patient ratios, so that doctors spend even less time with each patient.

That’s per year, it’s been less than 2 months since the event, the meme appears to be accurate in that way.

It literally says “since Brian Thompson died”
Also for only 40 million people
That’s the population of Canada
We got there in the end. Good work boys.
But not of the USA

Doesn’t that mean that UnitedHealth costs more than Canada if extrapolated though? 🤔
