[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Canadian. We do not have the best universal healthcare in the world. Many European countries do it better, like France. However, Canadians would never trade our healthcare for the US system. We may wish to trade it for the French system, which has a nice blend of private and public, but is still universal.

The negatives with the Canadian system are: (1) if your issue is not a threat to your life, there are indeed long wait time, (2) there are thousands of people with no family doctor. Family doctors are not paid well, so there is a severe shortage in almost every province.

The positives are: (1) everyone has access to preventive care (there are walk-in clinics for those without family doctors - not ideal of course), (2) if your life is in danger, the care is very good. My family and I have all had close calls with the grim reaper and we got very good care. My father had complications from diabetes for 30 years, and got excellent care, which greatly expanded his lifespan. The care included subsidized housing, routine foot care, and other routine check-ups.[/quote]

That is like 10000000x better than what we have here. [/quote]
