How is the US's system slower? That is certainly a new criticism, and a bit laughable considering you're comparing it to Canada.

The US's healthcare system is no different from any other private industry. If you can afford it, you can get whatever level of care you want. 

Which is a very crappy system in my opinion, healthcare shouldn't be only for the elite.

It is not, the poor qualify for Medicaid already. Since healthcare is scarce (there are a limited number of doctors, drugs, hospitals) we can't give top of the lime care to everyone. There has to be some mechanism to deal with scarcity.
