I think there is brainwashing in both directions and happy and unhappy consumers on both sides. It depends on what you need, how much money you have, etc. The problem with the US health care system is that it is going to be 20% of GDP and the results aren't worth the costs. Too many people aren't covered and the fully covered are being denied payment as well. People can't move from job to job without worrying about coverage and there is always the spectre of being denied insurance or of having your insurance canceled because you actually got sick. Health care in the US is getting to be a casino with all the participants fighting against each other. I believe the US health care system costs nearly double per capita than Canada's and it doesn't even cover everyone. If Canada were to increase its spending by, say 50%, would it be much better than the US? I haven't seen the 'perfect' system yet but, since I start with the moral proposition of universal coverage and no bankruptcies from medical bills, even the Canadian system looks better than ours. Do Canadians go on overseas medical vacations to Thailand and India?
