So...why do so many Canadians come to the U.S. when they have a serious problem?
Mostly they come to the US for the same reason they come to Mexico, Panama, etc.; because they have to wait too long in Canada, even though healthcare there is “free”.
Hi, libertylover.
There are two main reasons so many Canadians come to the US when they have a serious problem:
1. The healthcare system in Canada is state run, so there can be lots of waiting.
2. For some very serious and unusual illnesses, the US still leads the world in treatment options.
The article didn’t say that every healthcare system in the world is better or less expensive than that in the US. It just said that many are, for the vast majority of problems. Please read the article.
