Weird. I was driving eastbound on QEW once, in about 1998, and I saw a big billboard advertising a major hospital in Toronto and it said, "MRI coming in 1999!"
1999? MRI coming in 1999?! To a major-city hospital? Sounds about right. My guess at the time was that I probably don't want to get sick or injured in Canada. On the other hand, if you're poor, then a canadian-style system will probably be a better system for you than a US-style system. Then again, if you're poor, life sucks no matter what.
At least they don't get fined for electing not to buy medical insurance, which is more than I can say for us. Thanks, Obama.
I really don't have any first-hand knowledge. I've only used the medical facilities in the USA, Peru, China, and Mexico. If I were to rate my experiences, I'd go with USA≈China>Mexico>Peru. If I ever get sick or injured in Canada, I'll figure out where to put canada in that list.
