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.

I liked Wayne's link. At least there's a point of discussion. I also don't
believe it's a common problem, at least not as common as some here would
claim.

All the Canadians I know (quite a few actually - some snowbirds) seem to
like their system just fine.
