After watching my parents spend their last days with apathetic low paid workers I realized health care is not and industry that should be motivated by profit.

There are many people in the United States who do not have health insurance, but they do have health CARE.
Why doesn't anyone want to talk about this.
Since health care is "free" in Canada then what are the taxes?
According to people I know in Canada there are long waits for many services in Canada so don't try to slide over that.
Also, senior citizens do not get as wonderful health care in Canada as some would have you believe.
My husband and I are up there every year and have been told this by people in the health care system.

I'm a Canadian who has always lived within an hour from the U.S. border, and not once in my 32 years have I ever heard of someone going to the U.S. for medical reasons. I have had friends and family battle and beat cancer and they received wonderful and timely care. I cannot understand how health care is not included in 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'.

If you know any Canadians, why not ask them about their health plan?. A Canadian friend of mine said that in many aspects their health plan is pretty good , however, if you need surgery...good luck!.

By virtually every measure the Canadian system is superior to the US system. Some people in the US wait forever for elective surgery because they cannot afford it. We also don't hear about the many people who live in places like Buffalo and Detroit who go to Canada for primary care.

Just came from Canada from my aunt's funeral and my family and I talked about health care. They are happy with theirs, with what the goverment does for them and they told me it's the best in the world.
They get good care when needed and never heard of anyone having to come to the states to be treated.
They also told me that their copays were small and hey didn't have to pay for much of anything else.
