Nothing personal beedub. But I also had an experience with canada. I was 6 years old when me and my family camped in canada. I fell in a campfire on one night and suffered severe burns all over my body. My skin was hanging from my arms. The doctors in canada quickly took me in and cared for me. Thanks to their care, my skin is back to normal, i only have slight scarring on my hand and arm, and when we looked for the bill. They said no thanks, that the care was free and the doctors called every pharmacy along our trip to make sure my pain meds were there. It was tremendous care and for free.
I was also a portland shriners patient. They give tremendously good care at that childrens hospital. However It's also a non-profit childrens hospital that runs on donations. All kids accepted their have pretty much free health care with little competition. To say that this place is a good example of how US health care works would not be a good comparison.
Wait times can get bad in canada. But paying for a surgery with private health insurance can get pretty bad too. There are people who get refused treatment or specialists because they can't afford it. Public health care and basic private health care is about the same quality in my opinion. The rich will always get the best doctors, but no sytem will affect that. But I will say this about the US system, and that is that bad health always means good business.
