    The most miserable Canadian freelancer has something that most staff writers at The New Yorker don't have: lifetime health care.https://twitter.com/fordm/status/1404298104141238272 …

        Yep. Also, "Health insurance is not a possibility" is total BS. It's a choice. The New Yorker *chose* to give the people that make its magazine sell the finger.

        And Canadians pay far less per year to have complete healthcare. Except dental and eyes, but those aren't expensive.

        Mental health, many prescriptions and all sorts of other things are also not covered - but I'd take this system ten times out of ten over the US.

        More than that: even unemployed Canadian freelancers have lifetime health care.

        There are no miserable Canadian freelancers; it's not that kind of country.
