Let me just add:
Can US
Infant mortality/ 1,000
live births 5 7
Prob. of dying/1,000
Age 5, Males 6 8
Age 5, Females 5 8
Age 15-59, Males 104 148
Age 15-59, Females 59 85
Total Healthcare Spending
as a % of GDP: 7.9 9.2
So you guys are spending much more money, but getting, overall, lower
results.
But it is better because it is free-market, profit-driven!

And yet the exodus from Canada to the US for treatment continues unabaited.
To be so bad here it is amazing that so many come here from so many
countries, giving up free care for prompt, high quality care here. You get
reallly sick there, you get a tumor that requires immediate surgery, but the
system is over budget and you're put on a six to twelve month waiting list,
and then we'll see how fast you come running to America for immediate
treatment.

And yet the exodus from Canada to the US for treatment continues unabaited.
To be so bad here it is amazing that so many come here from so many
countries, giving up free care for prompt, high quality care here. You get
reallly sick there, you get a tumor that requires immediate surgery, but the
system is over budget and you're put on a six to twelve month waiting list,
and then we'll see how fast you come running to America for immediate
treatment.

To read some of this crap you'd think we were living in a third world
nation here. I guess some people like waiting 2 or more hours in the
doctor's waiting room to get looked at.
