Canada’s medical system, far from perfect, is dramatically better than America’s:
1.It is cheaper even though it takes care of the entire population, or 10% of GDP compared with 15% in the US
2.Canada’s health care system which fully looks after 32 million people costs roughly what the private-sector health insurance companies make in profits in the US looking after less than half the population for excessive premiums.
3.Canada’s health care system is cheaper still if the litigation costs of fighting over medical bills is eliminated as it is when the government is the sole-insurer. Estimates are that court costs and judgments add another 2 to 3% of GDP to the total medical tab.

Canada’s medical system, far from perfect, is dramatically better than America’s:

2.Canada’s health care system which fully looks after 32 million people costs roughly what the private-sector health insurance companies make in profits in the US looking after less than half the population for excessive premiums.
3.Canada’s health care system is cheaper still if the litigation costs of fighting over medical bills is eliminated as it is when the government is the sole-insurer. Estimates are that court costs and judgments add another 2 to 3% of GDP to the total medical tab.
4.Canada’s health care system enhances economic productivity. Workers diagnosed with illnesses can still change employers and be employable because they are not rejected by employers with health benefits due to pre-conditions.
5.Infant mortality is much lower in Canada and Europe than in the U.S.
6.Outcomes with major illnesses, such as cancer and heart disease, are better than in the US
7.Longevity is better in Canada and Europe than in the U.S.
8.No emergency is neglected in Canada.
9.Some elective procedures may take longer if compared to blue-ribbon US health care but that’s no comparing apples with apples. More appropriately, the overall population’s care should be compared and there are tens of millions of Americans who are uninsured or uninsurable.
10.No one in Canada goes broke because of medical bills whereas ARP estimates half of personal bankruptcies are due to unpaid, high medical bills.
11.Canadians are able to choose their own physicians and to seek multiple opinions.
12.Canadian doctors and nurses are better trained than American counterparts and U.S. physicians must study for at least a year in order to qualify to practice in Canada.[b]

13. Drugs made and invented in the United States are cheaper in Canada, Europe and Japan because our communal health care means volume discounts and savings passed along to society. Americans are overpaying.
14. Americans are being cheated by a patchwork quilt system where the highest risk people – veterans, the indigent and elderly – are insured by governments but the “gravy” or young, healthy people are handed over to private insurance companies.

Is Canada’s system perfect? No and nobody said it was. Networks should stop allowing propagandists to tell lies and any arguments about other countries’ practices should be ignored as totally irrelevant.

The US is a rich and talented nation and it’s very upsetting to me, as an American, that it does not have the world’s best medical care for its citizens instead of one of the worst.
