Tell that to the family of four who have to pay over $850/month for health insurance in the US, plus pay a deductible, plus be restricted to which doctor/specialist they can see because of HMOs and have limits on some of their coverage. Oh, and waiting times can be as long or longer than in Canada.. I just (in the past month) went through that where I was considering having a procedure done in the States. Longer waiting time, $1500-2500 out of pocket, versus a 3 week shorter waiting time and only $415 return flight by having it done in Alberta.
Tell me again how wonderful the States is. They spend 33% more as a percentage o GDP on their healthcare, with worse results. We Canadians live longer.
Reality, not fluff.
