At least in Canada you get something.

[I can say this with certainty because none of my fam in Alberta has had any issues with health care.]

Here in the States, you get nothing—well, except the bill—, unless you’re an illegal alien or a Congress critter.

Oh, and rumor has it that Canada’s equivalent of our Social Security is actually solvent, but I’ll let fanfan and other Canadian Freepers confirm or deny that last point.

What do you expect? Are you currently paying taxes for socialized medicine?

“Oh, and rumor has it that Canada’s equivalent of our Social Security is actually solvent,”

You forgot your /sarc tag. Social security cannot be solvent as long as the older population continues to live longer. Wait, perhaps the socialized medicine takes care of that.

In a lot of ways, canada is better, but I suspect that it is only because you guys don’t have millions of inner city ghetto blacks like we in the US do.

Strip out the inner city blacks, and the US crime rate is shockingly low, prosperity high, health care and govt. schools (that’s right, I said govt. schools) are pretty good.
