You just don't get it, do you? There is a difference between the level of care available and the ability to actually access that care. Nobody here is arguing that the US has poor health care. You have great health care. What you have is poor access to that high standard of available care for a substantial portion of your population.

Canadian citizens should stay with the system they believe in and support with their tax $$$$. why should my $$$$ fund a system so that any foreigner who wants to gets to take advantage of it? and for the record, I have some close alliances in the health care biz who give me the straight scoop. the hospitals and the insurance companies both scratch each other's backs. no secret there, except one would not exist without the other. no medical insurance = no hospitals. therefore, MY medical insurance premiums are funding some of the world's best hospitals and for what? so that every tom, dick and harry from around the globe gets to come here and take advantage of them?
BTW, when a Canadian, Mexican (or foreigner from any other country for that matter) is taking up space in OUR surgical wards, it means that surgeon is tied up and not available to perform surgery on a citizen of the United States. I want to freeze the border for good to the NORTH and to the SOUTH and both coast lines. no tickie, no shirtie. something along the lines of the Great Wall of China on both the Canadian/U.S. and U.S./Mexican border would be a real nice start.......
