BTW, are you people actually attempting to have a rational debate with Hank? WTF - doesn't anyone pay attention here?

The Canadian healthcare system is in serious trouble. My mother could not get a doctor for 3 years (!) and she lives 2h from Toronto - not exactly remote. She had to go to walk-in clinics for that whole time and she is 65 - not exactly a good age to not have your own doctor. My dad has Parkinson's - he has his own doctor, but he has to wait forever to see specialists. Waiting lists for routine operations are huge.
The only good thing about the system is that everyone is covered - maybe that outweighs the bad things, but not really for those that can afford to pay for something better (and don't want to travel to the US for it).
