<<The answer is because many Canadians are very wealthy and they can.

So they turn down free health care to buy expensive care out of their pocket? Yeah sure. BTW Canadians who come to the US for health care aren't all rich. In fact some of them are sent to the US by their own doctors. Like the Jepps.>>

I got to draw you a picture?We were talking about wait times.The wealthy do not have to wait just go to the welcoming arms of the Mayo clinic check book in hand.

And yes i agree many Canadians are sent to the U.S. as i said in my post, funded by Canadian health care.

<<Many of these examples are because Canada's health care resources are overwhelmed, at a particular time,

So the Canadian government funded system uses America as their backup. If we adopt the Canadian system here, who are you guys gonna lean on?>>

Yes we use your health care as back up because it is a business and we are welcomed ...cash is always welcome in any business.Cash customers are usually welcomed at the front of the line.

If you people decide to adopt a similar system to ours, we will have to figure something else out, but don't worry your system is not going to change overnight, and as i said before i am not trying to force our system on you people, it matters not to me what you do.I was replying to the post slagging the Canadian system.

<<I have no idea what the majority of Canadians think about their system. But only a fool would believe anything Michael Moore says.>>

And i'll bet you, you have not seen "Sicko" either.
