    I've spoken with my Canadian brethren and they tell me the wait for certain medical procedures can be extraordinarily long. Patients end up having to wait (which can jeopardize their health), go to another doctor in Canada (extremely inconvenient), or as a last resort, come down to the USA (and that's only if they have the coin to do so).

    This is NOT my experience since I'm a US citizen.

    All that tells me is that Canadians are a lazier people that contribute less GDP per capita. ;)

    Note to Moderators...
    This is all in jest, honest! I love Canada ever since the first fishing trip my dad took us on.

    All your post tells me is you're clueless... like most Americans.

    I prefer to think of it as economically efficient survival.

    Amazes me how many people posting here dont differeniate between education and indoctrination. My own fellow citizens who have been fed the old better dead than red false dichotomy. Now so entrenched that even with diminishing life expectancy, 3rd world levels of maternal deaths, unheard of rates for medical bill bankruptcies etc etc can only rock themselves in the corner wrapped in the American flag.
     
    Numb and ZVar Thank this.

    Our numbers are lower because we have california. Everyone knows that everything causes cancer in that state only. Proposition 65. That lowers our averages. Lol!

    I've only ever spent an afternoon in the US. Visited a Walmart while I was there and honestly I saw more morbidly obese folks on mobility scooters there than I ever have in my entire life in Canada.
