Focus on your own issues US...we're doing ok!!
Absolutely love when Americans (Trump tonight in the debate) make moronic comments about our Canadian healthcare system for which they know nothing about. No we're not flocking over the border for procedures we can't get done here and no, people aren't waiting excessive wait times for procedures being forced to the US to be seen. While our system isn't perfect, every Canadian is covered and doesn't have to fear declaring bankruptcy for medical procedures (yes the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy in the US). The statistics show that our system is far superior (life span) vs the US. Don't make comments for which you know nothing about and don't worry about us dear Trump. Focus on your own issues...we're doing ok!!
I recently went to a specialist in WA. There were 2 Canadian's in the waiting room. People were paying out of pocket to have a brain scan.

"For years I’ve heard Canada’s popular medicare (the Canadian term for universal health care) system slagged by lies, distortions, and outright ignorance on U.S. radio talk shows and other American popular media (where do people GET this stuff?). And for years, I’ve tried to set the record straight in my online and newspaper columns, having lived in Canada and actually having used their system. My son and his family are now covered by it in Vancouver.
Also, for years I’ve heard from Canadians, in Comments under my pieces and in email, thanking me for trying to set the record straight. They overwhelmingly like their medical delivery system, which turned 50 just last month."
