The American Dream is twice as easy to achieve in Canada as it is in America.
We also pay a fraction for our single-payer healthcare, and pay absolutely nothing out of pocket. Drugs are not free, but are heavily subsidized.
I would also use healthcare for my own choice to never live in the United States. Not only do Canadians spend about half as much towards healthcare in our taxes, but we also pay absolutely nothing else. In the States, you personally see nothing for the amounts that you are taxed, and you have to have medical insurance on top of that. Finally, said medical insurance comes with crippling co-pays and deductibles that severely discourage people from seeing a doctor until the time for treatment has come and gone, and palliative care is the only remaining option. Even a single emergency visit to the hospital is sufficient to wipe out years or even decades of savings.
