Some of these comments from the Canadians are funny from that link I posted in the 1st post.

It's amazing how deluded Canadians are. The things we believe is frightning. Nothing will change the fact that when the wealthy, highly educated, wordly people everywhere, get sick, they sure as hell don't come here ,or any other socialist state,they go to the USA.You can argue to your blue in the face as which payment method is better but in quality of care there is no comparison.The best in the world, for funding, are countries like Germany that have private and public care,thats why Quebec adopted it.Unfortuntely we aren't even allowed to discuss it. Hell, when Chretien's God daughter got sick he immediately packed her off to the states.One side effect of the litigation crazy USA is that the hospitals cross every T and dot every I to avoid being sued.Here in Canada it's not only tough to find a doctor to see it's almost impossible to find one that isn't under budgetary constraints.As for costs, the overwhelming taxes we pay for our FREE health care more than makes up for the Americans mounthly payments.B
Like that woman that was on the US news a while ago, I tell any American that will listen to keep away from our health system. How can ours be the best when the best medical minds go south because they can't make $ here? Oh yeah, our system is great alright. I had to wait 18 months for surgery, my family Dr. has a 3 month waiting list, emergency units have an 8hr wait if you're lucky, MRIs have to wait 3-6 months. OK, you people keep on looking at the truth with your eyes closed, just hoping things are fine. Me, I live with my eyes open and can see things for as they are. Like I said, the only thing about our health system is that everyone recieves crappy service for non-life threatening procedures. And to the fools that suggested I go south for treatments, good idea. After my experience with my 18 month wait, I will be US bound in the future. Just like my shopping trips I take.
