O Canada!

You are basing your opinions on shit that is fed to you by the media. Count up how much taxes you pay for your medical care... then factor in the waiting periods for operations, and then research how much health insurance costs in the USA and you will see just how much you are being bent over. Also factor in how much a healthy person, non smoker, non-aids infected, needs health care under the age of 50... Are your eyes opening a little?
I will make it easier for you as most people with the socialist pie in the sky attitude find it hard to research things that may shatter their belief system.
Here is a quote on Health Insurance in the USA, when you see it, you might say, "WHY IS THE MEDIA TELLING ME IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE"
This quote is for a Single Male, age 32, non-smoker BUYING THE POLICY HIMSELF, MEANING NO ADVANTAGE OF GROUP DISCOUNTS (COMPANY SUPPLIED):
$2500 deductible (you pay $2500 then everything else is paid by the insurance company) $47 a month * 12 months = $564 a year.
$1000 deductible raised the monthly premimum to about $65
And did you also know that is most states in the USA, the poor and CHILDREN are given healthcare for free? Check out this link:

Oh, how horrible health insurance is in the USA... cry me a fucking river. Or Better yet, continue to believe what is fed to you, to justify your socialized medicine. The sheep who believe high taxes are justified are too blind to realize their money is being STOLEN!
Why is it every Canadian I know that lives in Florida for 4 months, while it is sub-artic in Canada, they all say, "I would rather be treated here, as I do not have to be put on a waiting list"
As an aside, your same argument is screamed from the rooftops in France, where they too accept the tax raping because they are told to look to the big evil USA's health 'CRISIS'.
