Over a month ago, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders emailed a group of Canadian doctors with questions about Canada’s health-care system. Sanders team collected this group and made videos of doctors answering these questions for a social media campaign advocating for a single-payer health-care system in the U.S., similar to Canada’s. For privacy reasons Bechard can’t share this family’s identity, or the nature of the child’s illness. But, both Bechard and Raza are quick to recognize that Canada’s health-care system is not perfect. Raza hopes Sanders is successful in implementing a strong single-payer system in the U.S., so Canadians can start looking inwards.
