It sounds like those people who, when the new healthcare system (kind of)
was ratified, threatened to move to Canada.

So US's healthcare system was made slightly closer to that of Canada, and
because that was such a horrible thing, they threaten to move to... Canada.
Makes perfect sense.

Btw, there seems to be an irrational fear of "socialism" in the US. Do they
even understand what "socialism" means? Or is it to them just something
vague and scary, exactly like "witchcraft" or "satanism"? No need to even
know what exactly it is; it's enough to know that it's something "scary".

(I understand that there's a minority in the US who would actually welcome
a more "socialist" form of government, if it means more equality and a
significantly better healthcare system where you don't have to die or lose
fingers just because you are not rich enough.)
