In Canada you cant pay for a really great doctor, I think thats why we have less doctors here, cause they make less money here.

But ambulances are free, as well as organ transplants, giving birth etc and it doesnt drive you into debt if you are sick or have broken something. the real killer up here is the prescription drugs… outrageous prices!

Come to Canada, its purttty.

Our individualistic and capitalistic nature has hindered our path to a universal healthcare system followed by most industrialized nations in Asia and Europe. Sure, we have politicians and interest groups that push for reform, but I doubt any of it is going to pass without a major overhaul. Then again, nationalized healthcare has its faults as well, i.e. higher taxes, healthcare quality, etc.

Though we have the NHS, and our treatment is free (to an extent), we still have major problems regarding organisation, funding, management and facilities.
