Ten years ago I was with the guy so the myth isn’t that old. He needed surgery for a minor issue, was 28 (yes I’m a cougar!) and skinny. He had to wait fourteen weeks to see a doctor. Surgery was scheduled for ten weeks forward. He had medications until then.
His taxes were higher but not nearly as high as you’d expect. But free healthcare is what you get. If you don’t pay taxes and have a heart attack, do they bill you?!
