Why do Canadians cross the boarder for our healthcare? Don't Canadians have to be put on a waiting list for their free healthcare? |
As a Canadian I can say that most Canadians don't cross the boarder, but those that do are demonstrating a willingness to pay their own money for improved access to and/or quality healthcare ...
My point had nothing to do with the strategies of healthcare delivery and was entirely focused on the services returned at the level of taxation. If you use Canada (or Australia) as the baseline and look at taxation, government spending and services delivered in the United States it would seem to be reasonable to suggest that taxation rates in the United States are appropriate for the services that are delivered but the amount of money spent to deliver those services is excessive.
