Hmmm...

You chose diet coke, which is a bad choice in terms of health. Regular pepsi is a much better choice at lunch.

The other woman chose (2) pepsi's and a cookie. Hard to say - maybe she was providing for her family. Maybe in addition to what they were able to obtain for lunch that day. Just maybe. Neither of us know.

Aside of speculation, you choosing diet coke is a factual problem. Healthwise, that is terrible for you. (Not to mention a C store burger.)

No-cost health care solves a bunch of problems for countries around the world. Maybe look into it if you can spare the time.

Maybe look into how nothing is no cost.

It was C store or no lunch, 12 hr days so needed to eat.  It mightve been a diet Dr. Pepper.  The doctor can't be bad health choice no? 

Looking into no-cost healthcare that other countries are utilizing successfully around the world would be my recommendation for you if I were a doctor.

But I would also advise against "diet" sodas of any sort. Even though I'm not doctor and don't play one on TV.

you know you will need to pay more taxes to pay for all doctor bills of the bad choice people drinking diet soda.

Or do the doctors make less, and then you get a 60$ an hour doctor operating on you. Or weeks to see a doctor because no good candidate is going to gain the knowledge for that wage.   I've heard about the health care quality at no cost

In Canada, wait times for a doctor are significant, with the median wait time for specialist treatment at 30.0 weeks in 2024, up from 27.7 weeks in 2023. The wait is divided into two segments: a 15.0-week wait to see a specialist and a subsequent 15.0-week wait from the specialist consultation to receiving treatment. Wait times vary considerably by province and the specific medical specialty, with some provinces having much longer waits than others. 

 

Key statistics 

• Median national wait time: 30.0 weeks in 2024 
• Wait from GP referral to specialist consultation:15.0 weeks 
• Wait from specialist to treatment: 15.0 weeks 
• Provincial variations:
  • Longest waits: Prince Edward Island (77.4 weeks) and New Brunswick (69.4 weeks)
  •  
• Specialty variations:
  • Longest waits:Orthopaedic surgery (57.5 weeks) and Neurosurgery (46.2 weeks)
