      We (debatably I’m sure) claim invention of free healthcare.

      Edit: we really didn’t invent it. But it’s one of those things they taught us anyway.

        If the claim of invention instills a sense of pride that prevents assholes from tearing it down, then keep pushing that story.

        I’m in the US, and every time some right wing jackass mentions Canada’s healthcare, they pull a story out of their ass about someone who died waiting for care. Conveniently ignoring the large number of people in the US who die without even considering the possibility of healthcare because they can’t afford it. Left unsaid: “You don’t understand! The person I know who died was white!”
