Have you lived there? My husband is Canadian. And has adored the system. So do my in-laws who live there currently. Where's Debbie from Vancouver?
I truly believe a lot of americans don't have a clue about socialized healthcare. They've never lived it or experienced it.
Those who have, who have come to the US have a very DIFFERENT perspective than those socialized care people who only know socialized medicine.
They haven't seen what happens when you are middle class in the US and your insurance doesn't cover treatment. Denies it because it's not the norm for treatment. Or you have maxed out your annual limit of care.
Come to the US and see how you fare. Try to live with the worry if you lose your job you lose your insurance. And if you lose insurance you might never be insured again if you have a preexisting condition.
You are uninsurable. There's a reason why the US is the only capitalistic medical system and why we spend more than everyone else and why people are calling for reform. It's certainly not because it's affordable and great.
