I’m Canadian. Along with a vast majority of Canadians (usually between 75 and 80 per cent, depending upon the poll), I wouldn’t trade my health care for anything, especially not yours. I had triple bypass surgery; it was timely, and it was paid for by our collective taxes. I didn’t have to deal with insurance companies, and I certainly didn’t have to worry about going bankrupt in order to pay for the operation.
Americans may have the best doctors and hospitals in the world. You undoubtedly have the best medical researchers. BUT you do not have the best system. I hope neither of you every have a serious ailment; better to learn from argument than experience.
