Here on the border between the US and Ontario, we see the "fruits" of socialized medicine every day. Hundreds of patients from Canada coming to the hospitals on the US side for treatment, surgery and whatever else they need. Why? The infamous waiting lists and inadequate medical providers in Canada.

Oh Canada...

IMHO, the situation is even worse than reported here. If you consider eleni's statement about border crossers and add to that my experience here in Florida where local medical providers advertise for Canadian patients during the "snow bird" season, the USA is taking a LOT of pressure off the Canadian system today. If Canada closed that loophole, their entire system would collapse.
