They don’t know any better. Have a few treatments on this side of the border, and then ask them how they like it. My guess is the poll numbers would be significantly different!

Exactly !

Most have no basis for comparison. Recently my stepmom, who lives in Canada, had a heart attack. Her care was 1950 medicine . I could not believe how primitive it was.
She ended up in a hospital in Niagara Falls Ont, a hot tourist destination and gambling spot. Their midsize hospital had NO cardiologist , no vascular surgeon etc..They had one very overworked internist..thats it.

But if you talk to Canadians they love their system. My mother thought she was well treated there because the staff was so nice.

I could not wait to get her here where she saw a cardiologist in a day.

BTW because of her age she was never put in an intensive care unit . She was put on a geriatric rehap unit.

All I could think was they were stuck in the time zone when the Government took over the health care. God preserve us from that fate
