A couple facts to keep in mind. US law states that a hospital cannot turn away anyone, even if they do not have health insurance. The US has the best doctors, medical facilities and training, as well as the most medical breakthroughs because of the private health care system. 80% of canadians live 100 miles from the US border. They come here when they need real medical treatment. Canadian nurses are on camera recommending private health care because their system sucks.

1. Yes we do have the best doctors and medicial facilities. But we don't have the best coverage. Coverage and medical achievement are not the same thing; they are quite differtn.

2. No, 96% of Canadians perfer their system, many polls say so. What you say about Canadians flocking here is simply false. It's repeated alot by people, but it is false

3. The World Health Organization, and the National Coalition on Health care, and other reports place Canada's system above ours.

4. Some, But very few Canadian nurses, want our private system. Most are dead against it. And this is documented "on Camera" too.

5. Canada's system is not the best, there are many betters ones. Ours is not one of them.

Your "facts" are simply false. Check the sources I list in the video and you will quickly see that.

Also, Canada is a poor instance of Universal health care. France, Australia, Italy, Spain, Germany, all do it better than Canada. So does our single payer system Medicare. Furthermore, none of the reforms suggested by the White house or congress are anything like Canada's system. So this is all irrelevant.

For profit healthcare is highly immoral. its saying that your life is as valuable as how much you earn or who your insurance provider is. its a horrible system that we're stuck with.
