As a Canadian, I can say healthcare up here is a slow motion train wreck and we shouldn't be emulated by anyone. Everything is triage/lowest level of care so most things lack any sort of bedside manner and/or take forever and involves way more suffering than is necessary. Look at places like Singapore or some of the scandinavian countries where they have pretty effectively used the private sector to discipline the public sector and vice versa, as it seems to have way better outcomes and is certainly far less time consuming and painful for the individual going through the system. I especially like the Scandinavian countries that give the public sector 90 days to get something done before the patient has the right to use the private system at government cost, maybe Sweden? That's a great system that stops the utter bullshit of months to years of waiting for treatments that probably won't save your life but will make your life a hell of a lot better like joint replacements. Both the USA and Canada should be held up as examples of how not to do health care and all eyes should be elsewhere for better ideas.
