ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Canada is MUCH less diverse than the USA and I'm sure the people there have less stress. They rely on the government to take care of them more than in the USA.

It's not a very good apples to oranges comparison when you compare a country that is 10x the size with 50% more diversity and a whole lot more personal freedoms to Canada.

I, on the other hand, believe that if you open up the geographic restrictions on insurance companies, you'll get the competition needed to (theoretically) lower prices for everyone.

How funny you STILL don't understand that.
Yeah in America we believe in paying for healthcare when we need it....not paying every year even if we don't need it via taxes.

Go to Brampton, 45% South Asian. Go to Burnaby, 35% Chinese, 20% South Asian. Over 50% of the GTA was born outside of Canada. Yup that a homogenized society right there.

Ooooooo lookie, I can find articles on the internet where the USA is ranked way above Canada in healthcare!

https://freopp.org/united-states-hea...on-b593ba15a96

You can find anything you want to "prove" your points. The USA is MUCH MUCH higher than Canada in quality and we lead the world by leaps and bounds in Choice and in Science and Technology categories.

USA #4 overall on this, Canada #17. I don't think you can argue that the USA has much better quality than Canada and of course you wouldn't argue that we lead by far and away in science and innovations over Canada.

Where the usa always gets dinged on those lists is "cost." AGAIN: You get what you pay for!

Canada's is bargain bin government rationing.

Go to Google and look up diversity. The USA has twice as much as Canada as a whole.

You do understand macro statistics right?

Yeah why don't you zoom in on Toronto's china town and use that as the representative of Canada as whole?

Who would even argue that the USA isn't WAY more diverse than Canada overall?
