    This is not the “same viewpoint Luigi holds.” The Canadian and British examples are grossly exaggerated to the point of being a bad faith argument, which leads me to suspect the US one might be as well.

    Lying about the problem doesn’t aid the cause; it harms it.

          Comparing sharing a meme to being a Nazi is an egregious insult to the people who suffered under them

            It’s definitely a very hyperbolic example.

            But it holds nonetheless.

            Doesn’t matter you didn’t make the meme, you served the same purpose as the one that did.

      It’s inaccurate in relation to how much a 43 month waitlist problem would cost in the US. Unless you’re seeking care that has been politicized, the US costs should have a couple zeros added to be a comparable exaggeration. Costs in this country seem like they should be a joke, but shit is really that expensive.
