Default Re: Healthcare. USA vs Canada

Yeah, our medical system is better than a lot of places, however you forget to mention that it's all heavily dependent on the Hospital you go to. Some have almost no wait times, some have 10+ hour wait times.

Some doctors aren't afraid to charge the system, some will let patients out without proper treatment. In a lot of ways, you have to trust your gut if you've received the proper care/advice, but I guess that's true in the States aswell, except here they won't charge you to get a second opinion.

It's not perfect, and there are countries that give better treatment and are almost equally taxed as Canada.
