Same (but not from Canada, from a former communist Eastern European country where there's universal healthcare). And I was in a much higher on the income ladder in said country then here in the US (relative to the country median income) and yet the health care I get in the US on the employer included plan is many times better then what I got back in Europe. To be fair I was going to the state health facilities there where my income level could afford me to go to private institutions which were vastly better, but you see, in the US I didn't have to do anything special to get better healthcare, I just went with what my employer gave me and it's much better than what the state gave me in Europe (and I was paying, in form of taxes, much more for it too).
