Canadian doctor, Danielle Martin, appeared with Bernie Sanders at Medicare for All announcement and schooled America on the benefits of Medicare for all. 

One by one, an American doctor, American nurse, American mother and American businessman explained to the cameras why their country’s health system is a disaster.

Then Bernie Sanders called up the Canadian standing behind him. She had a kind of magic trick to perform.

Dr. Danielle Martin, a family physician from Toronto, described a glorious place, “just north of your border,” where everyone is covered, costs are lower, outcomes are better, and people have no idea what it’s like to cough up cash for the privilege of delivering a child.

Martin revealed her OHIP card.

“I just handed over this card, my Canadian health-care card, to my doctor. And that was it,” Martin said.

Some of the Sanders devotees sitting in the packed room on Capitol Hill murmured appreciatively, as if she had just conjured a rabbit.

“I wish that all of my American neighbours could experience the same simplicity in their moments of need,” Martin continued. “And I hope that the American people will seize this opportunity to declare to each other, and to the rest of the world, that you do believe access to health-care is a human right.”
