It's truly fucked how many police have no awareness, or simply don't give a fuck, when it comes to individuals who need medical assistance and instead are thrown in a cage.

Yeah it's too bad sometimes.
This event was like something out of a sketch comedy routine. Buddy is on his way to a bar (not to drink) and had a stroke. Parks on the sidewalk, stumbles into the bar and everyone thinks he's drunk. Cops come, see his car on the sidewalk, see him stumbling around, and you know what happened.
If he really had no alcohol in him, that cop fucked up huge saying he smelled booze on his breath.
They should have breathalyzed him. Buddy was asking for it.
Well, he lived, and hopefully now he gets 6 million bucks. Would be well worth it.
The police in Canada aren't so bad usually. There are events, some much worse than this, but overall, the police in Canada are a pretty respectable bunch.

There's cage collectors doing that everyday with alcohol and cannabis. The oldest BS "I smell yadda yadda" so I'm legally allowed to act as a nazi and search you & all your private property without warrant and take you to jail to process. And if anything goes wrong, just like the krauts said after the war, "I was just doing my job". Except unlike the nazis, they get away with it.

It's not only police doing dumb shit like this, I was having my 2nd stroke while at a veterans Affairs clinic and they put me in an ambulance and sent me 170 miles to an emergency room at a va hospital in Biloxi Mississippi. When the ambulance crew rolled me into the ER the doctor told them to put me in a room, that he was going to lunch. 5 hours later I'm completely paralyzed up on my right side and he finally decided to do something.

Being an alcoholic that no one trusts probably didn't help his case. In his stroke he even seemed drunk.

I'm not trying to be rude but that's an ignorant thing to say, several medical conditions can make someone appear to be intoxicated and police officers are taught this in rookie school but like some medical professionals they get tunnel vision and it can result in death or permanent injury. Diabetes is a big one that will do this to someone. Even if this person was intoxicated it doesn't mean they are an alcoholic.

My uncle in his first stages of MS would get kicked out of bars because they thought he was drunk. His one arm and leg didn’t work properly and looked like he was staggering and his speech was a bit slurred. Added insult to illness.
Damn Doc, that’s a shitty story. That’s just pure negligence.

That's what we have to look forward to with socialized medicine, all you have to do is look at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to see what our hospitals and clinics will become under a nationalized health care system

Being Canadian, I already have socialized health care. For the most part, I love it. It is not perfect though but no one has to worry about medical bills. You get good doctors and nurses and shitty ones. There can still be shitty health care in the USA too, money and a good plan means a lot but I know several people who can’t afford good plans.
Anywhere though, you need to be on your health care team, and if you can’t do it yourself, hope to have a friend or family member do it for you. I don’t trust anyone with my health but me (and my loved ones if I can’t.). I’ve never been in a situation like you though so it’s easy for me to say that.
I really can’t see the USA ever socializing though. Too many lawyers and insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies would have way too much to lose. Health care is a profit business.

Not at all. I don't know if you just don't understand the reality of the situation and actually believe what you are saying or what, but it isn't based in truth or fact...first off the reason the VA hospitals are the way they are is because they aren't funded.(I wonder who stands in the way of funding social programs with deficit spending, although ballooning the deficit with tax cuts and military spending is no problem at all)
But more importantly you are comparing apples to oranges, the VA hospitals are directly government run...the socialized healthcare plans being proposed are just public funding/single payer/government insurance plans.
The big change would just be who foots the bill. I won't say only as I'm sure it would be accompanied by some changes in regulation and cost saving measures such as the government negotiating drug prices(like the rest of the modern world). But who pays is really whats up for debate, not who administers medicine.

I know what is fact, I have been in the Veteran affairs system before I even left active duty, I know exactly what it's about. Sure it's under funded and a national health care system will be as well. I am a Trained Physician assistant and an independent duty corpsman before that, so yes I have experience with national health care.
I seen what happened when the government gave us Obamacare, the problem isn't with doctors it's greedy pharmaceutical companies, that's what should be regulated. It makes no difference if you can see the doctor but can't afford the medication. Like everything the government does, it's done backwards and halfassed. z
I have been on both sides of the spectrum as both practitioner and patient,
