You don't talk to the Canadians I do. The ones exposed to the American system prefer US medicine overwhelmingly. Anyone who accepts months of waiting for life-saving procedures because his/her region has “run out of money” for their care is a moron. And the young DU types who have never been sick don't care if you wait months for your heart cath; you're an expendable burden to them anyway.

Wise up. Recent US guidelines for denial of care in “emergencies” have been drawn up. Let's see how long before one of those “emergencies” comes along.

Canadian publications often survey Canadians in terms of their satisfaction with health care. If you Google the subject and do some reading you might be astounded by how much Canadians prefer their system. On the other hand, you will find all of the stories about Canadians being unhappy with their health care are usually sourced by US publications and based on information that has been provided by US based insurers.
