Question:
Health care seems to be a major political talking point in the U.S. these days. Even though polls suggest that 85% of US citizens rate their care as "satisfactory" or above, some of our would-be presidents seem to want a more Canadian-style health care system.
Answer:
Yes, Canadians on the whole are very satisfied with their health care. No one goes untreated ever.
The biggest problem Canadians have is not having enough health care facilities and workers. They are trying to catch up but still many Canadian doctors go to the U.S. where they can make millions because of the system there.
Everything I have heard pegs Canada's sytem as one of the best in the world; however, that is for Canadians. We do not know how it would stand up to American abuse. Germany had one of the best healthcare systems in the world. West Germans did not abuse it. The wall fell, and the system requires reforms.
Social services/systems must be created from within.
Ask the ones that are dying in line waiting for health care.
