If you think US Healthcare is anything other than an embarrassment, you're delusional

I live in Canada, and have never had to wait more than 1 day for a doctor's appointment (never needed same day but I'm sure I could find someone) and 2 hours in an ER (most extreme example and I had a minor cut on my eye so I was de-prioritized since people needed actual immediate help. In every other case it's been less than an hour). My pediatric heart surgeon was one of the top 5 in north america and I had a hernia closed up within a week of diagnosis.

My medications are heavily subsidized to the point of insignificance, I've never spent anything on actual procedures/hospital stays and I pay less in taxes than the comparable bracket south of the border.

Stop using us as some "Socialist Deathcamp" example and look at the numbers. You basically live in Sudan compared to me. Provide statistics that prove otherwise.

I appreciate hearing your experience with the healthcare system up there. I've been trying to keep an open mind about the changes going on here in the states, although I'm still aprehensive because there are things about Obamacare that concern me. But for now all we can do is see what happens.
