I have lived in both US and Canada. Frankly there is no comparison. If you can affords private care, US is best hands down.

If you can't afford health care in the US you don't get any period. You may be faced with bills that you will spend a lifetime to pay off if you need an emergency operation in the US, without coverage...

Lady Mischief, I understand what you're saying. Our health care system is as flawed as that in the UK, but it's WAY better than the situation in the US.

I have had care in both countries, I have the experience to make comments on this subject.
