We use more health care than canadians.

Health care in Canada is rationed by the government. Unless you have
an imminently life threatening condition you can not get to see a
specialist right away or have surgery performed. This applies even
to severe injuries like fractures.

Canadians who can afford it come to the US since they are not allowed
to go outside the system in their own counrty. Sounds great doesn't
it?

If we get government care like a lot of people seem to want we will
have a two tier system. (like the brits) We already have that with
Medicare. There are plenty of places that won't accept new medicare
patients.

Easy to fix...don't renew the licenses of practitioners who turn down
medicare patients. Further, the comment about Canadian health
care/waiting for treatment for serious injuries is nonsense. I've been
to any number of discussions about health care in the U.S. and Canada,
especially as they relate to injuries sustained on the job. Canadians
aren't waiting for treatment. I'm sure,though, that you can find some
anecdotal bit that you believes proves your posit.
