Most canadians like it because they can see a doctor at no cost...(except VERY high taxes )
But the care there is 1960-70 care.. with the added burden of no specialists. I am a nurse and I was appalled with the level of medical care.. the staff tries but they do not know any different either
The problem is that doctor’s offices are incredibly overcrowded because people will go to the doctor for minor things (colds, etc.) that we would just use OTC medication for. In many (probably most) cases when a middle-aged American is diagnosed with a heart disease they can be treated and live a fairly normal life, in Canada it is also a death sentence.
From a fiscal point of view, Canada also has a HUGE advantage that America doesn’t. Their defense spending requirements are FAR LOWER than ours are. They have the benefit of knowing that they are protected simply because of their proximity to the USA. American defense spending is approximately 4% of GDP, Canada’s is just over 1%. This alone gives them a savings of over $50 billion per year and their population is only 34 million.
