My wife is from Australia. Her family, many of whom have lived both here and there, prefer the Australian system over ours by a WIDE margin. Her mother, grandmother, and a sister are all breast cancer survivors, and got wonderful care for nothing more than their regular tax dollars in Australia, which included double mammectomies and breast reconstruction and prosthetics. On her father's side (in America) her grandmother died of Cancer and her grandfather spent 7 figures getting her treatments and traveling to MD Anderson and the Mayo Clinic. I have 2 friends I know personally from Canada and they have complained about the wait time before, but then when they needed specialized care in America, they found the wait time to get in to see the doctors of their choice was as long, and in one case longer than the wait time back in BC.
I'm curious if you know any of these Canadians that have ever been bankrupt by Healthcare, cause Americans have horror stories AND bankruptcies.
