Socialized Medicine (Canada). Here is an example I can verify. My neighbor in NC got breast cancer, and 1 1/2 months later her close friend in Montreal was diagnosed with the same type and approximately the same size of breast cancer tumor. Same risk.

My neighbor started chemo within 2 weeks, followed by radiation and lumpectomy, all completed within 5 months. She's thriving.

Her Canadian friend was put on a Waiting List. Seven months later (no exams in between) she had a double mastectomy --- major surgery --- at the age of 83. No chemo. No radiation. No followup. 1950's cancer treatment. She was told that double mastectomy is "standard treatment."

Do The Math. The survival rates US vs. Canada are 91% vs 89%. Sounds small, but...

In 2024 ~367,220 US women will get breast cancer. 91% will survive. 33,000 will die.

With Canada's treatment, only 89% would survive. 40,400 would die. That's 7,400 unnecessary deaths due to socialized medicine for one disease in one year.

Socialized Medicine = Waiting Lists and the cheapest possible treatment and more deaths.

We women DID win that battle in the sixties and seventies! Equal pay and equal opportunity. A whole lot changed that the crybabies of today know nothing about.

The Democrats are WRONG. You can't just "be anything you want to be." And putting a woman in a job she can't handle isn't a WIN for anybody.

Having a woman President is a huge disadvantage when dealing with countries and cultures that disregard women. Kamala cannot go eyeball to eyeball with any Muslim country's leader. Kamala cannot back Putin off like Trump did. Kamala cannot shut up Little Rocket Man like Trump did with a face-to-face visit complete with credible threats. Trump backed off one terrorist leader by presenting him with a satellite photo of his home and telling him he'd kill him if he harmed one American.

Kamala can't do that. No woman can.
