For example: am Canadian, had to get stitches for a nerve-damaged lacerated finger. Doctor tried to prescribe me Oxy — which was absolutely ridiculous for such a small injury, so I refused it. I'm pretty certain that I'd be an opioid addict had I accepted that prescription, knowing myself.

Canadian healthcare is great, and dissimilar to American, in that it's treated as a public good.

Canadian healthcare is not great, and similar to American, in that a lot of prescription decisions are made from a similar cultural perspective as in the US, ie drugs are handed out like candy.
