Well,anecdotally,I am friends with a family where one of the spouses grew up in Canada. Their advice when we were planning a trip to Canada was to make sure not to get seriously ill while we were there. Not the first time I have heard of this attitude from Canadians or people from UK.
I do not have anything good to say about our "system" (except that the doctors and nurses themselves are many times exceptional), but I also have seen enough of government run systems to know that that is not not an answer.
- skummetmaelk 7y agoYou are presenting this argument as if people do not get worried about getting sick when traveling to the US. I can assure you that most people are extremely worried about that because of the insane costs involved and the problem of dealing with insurance.
- Ensorceled 7y agoGetting sick while traveling is always a crap shoot. There are many Canadians who have been convinced that our health care system is crap by the usual suspects. It isn't. Yes, if you live in a major center in the US (like near John Hopkins or Stanford Medical) and have great insurance, you will get some of the best health care in the world. The cost is your less wealthy neighbours are dying and going bankrupt.
