That’s the free healthcare program, right ?

Universality, affordability, and quality. Pick 2. Italy probably has one of the best publicly funded systems, but not the worlds best. The worlds best routinely swap between France and Germany, and guess what, they're not actually universal single payer. They have a very baseline for the poorest, but everyone has private insurance and pay out of pocket for small services. Also, the means to deliver health care are privately supported. But my fellow Canadians are so fucking retarded they think we're doing great when we are barely testing at a rate of other countries and I bet we'll be getting this drug many months from now and our markets will rebound slower and worse than the USA, which happens every recession. We're a mediocre country.

Came here to say this. I wonder if they helped them at all or just slammed the door in their face. It’s a shame when you can’t take care of the elders who have done so much for the world.

"Free" medical care can either be high quality, or highly available, but not both.

Italy chose high quality/low availability.
