I'm Canadian, and from what I can tell you about our health care system , it's slow as hell but it gets the job done, I really can't imagine being without free health care, the idea that if something happened I'd be completely screwed was one of the big things that prevented me from moving to the states a few years back.

It took about 3 years to get into surgury for my issue the first time, though it is hard to find an eye specialist in nova scotia, but I'd rather take the time to wait for it , then have it done and end up living on the street trying to pay medical bills.

Plus I've known so many good friends in the states that have talked to me concerned that they MAY have a serious condition, but refuse to go get it looked into because they can't afford it. That's just extremely disturbing.

Taxes are never fun, but I figure if anything ever did go wrong, I'd easily dump more into medical procedures then what I'm paying into taxes.
