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.

Of course it shouldn't, but that is why things like Medicaid exist (as sc94597 shares). If someone wants to provide high quality, highly specialized care, they can also choose to do that if they wish.
