But the US isn't "healthcare based on your wealth".

You have Medicaid for the poor, heavily subsidized Obamacare for the people who don't get it through their employer (hello $100/month plan!) and Medicare for the retired.

I mean my cousin in the US whose kid has cystic fibrosis get better care through Medicaid than our other cousin in Canada who can't even get access to the latest drugs.

That $100/month plan will include high deductibles and copays. A weekend visit to an urgent care for a kidney stone will still cost a couple hundred dollars out of pocket.

I don't think anyone that says this has actually been poor and needed medical care.

You just have to stay very poor. If you do anything to move up a little bit in life, the benefits stop and you are on your own.
