Canada made a rare appearance in a US presidential debate tonight when Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton of wanting to turn America’s system into a “catastrophic” single-payer health system like Canada’s.
“You’ve noticed,” he said, “the Canadians, when they need a big operation, they come into the United States in many cases, because their system is so slow.”
This idea is often floated by critics of single-payers systems like Canada’s on both sides of the border.
But the best-available research shows it’s simply not true. Canadians are not fleeing en masse to the US seeking medical care.
The most comprehensive look at the issue was published in Health Affairs in 2002.

My new job is working with kids and today, in response to the standard get-to-know you questions I ask them all, one seven-year-old told me “I’m a pro fighter and that’s all you need to know”

how to tell if a faerie is nearby
soft, chiming bells
a strong scent of grass, apples, or wild violets
strange, haunting, jovial music
mysterious giggling that comes out of thin air
mushroom circles
large patches of four-leaf clovers
you are followed by a crow or a raven
tiny knots in your hair

I can't wait for The Girl On the Train movie to come out because shortly after, finally, blessedly, people will stop talking about that GARBAGE
#an insult to good thrillers is what that book was#it's been two years since I read it and I am STILL angry that I did
