I think people outside Canada don't realize how bad our healthcare system is. They get caught up in the "free" part and dont realize that it also comes with all the baggage of a government administered institution, and that there are no alternatives. Socialized healthcare is a big advantage for people who can't otherwise pay for it, but if your job or circumstances put you in a position where you can afford private healthcare, Canada has nothing to offer, and healthcare is a net negative. I'm told that Europe is different and there are private options.
