Canadians live longer. FACT.

Canada spends 1/3 less as a percentage of GDP on healthcare. Also FACT.

Some Canadian medical innovations the USA would not want to be without.

Innovative Medicines Canada
Living longer <> better health care.

Spending less <> better care. I bet North Korea spends way less.

Some innovations?

Yes, voluntarily.

Why cant you people distinguish between a voluntary act and compulsion - being forced at gunpoint?

What’s the matter with you?

Greedy? You are forcing other people to pay for your healthcare, and you have the audacity to call other people greedy?

By the way, if you don’t want to use the insurance company, don’t buy insurance. Is there anybody forcing you to buy?

In some cases where a person is severely injured, like in a fire, cosmetic surgery is often necessary.

Still no reason to force other people to pay for your care.

I'm sorry you don't understand the innovations. And yes, spending less on healthcare with a better outcome (living longer IS a better outcome), means Canadians have a better system.

It would be covered. Breast enlargements are not.

Once again, living long doesn’t equal to better care!

Simply, if we let all the incurable patients or patients that require expensive treatments die, we can immediately achieve longer average life and lower cost.

The real measurement is the terminal illness survival rate, particularly if Canada doesn’t use any US invented medical treatments.

Go see where Canada is ranked.

In the Canadian system, the government decides who gets to live and who is to die. That in itself is evil.

Cancer is not the only illness. And no, the government does NOT decide who lives or dies. Doctors deliver what they feel is best medically. No bureaucrat, like insurance companies in the USA and their case workers, get into the middle of that.

Where do you get your information from? The insurance company BS???
