“Canadians often face long delays for procedures and must wait for many hours in emergency departments. However, unlike Americans, we aren't forced to deal with a multitude of exclusions for prior illnesses, deductibles and copayments through private insurance.” Read the piece
Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
