But try telling Americans that and they won't believe you.

With my previous family doctor I did not even have to show my medical card since the receptionist already new me and my family. So we just wait around 20 minutes and that's it!

I now live in a different province but have not visited a doctor yet so I don't know what is it going to be like here.

And anyone in Canada, EVERYONE, the richest or the poorest can see a physician with no out of pocket cost. In the US 1 in 3 people can't even afford to see a physician and have third world health care.
