I find it funny most Americans look down on universal health care while in the mean time

However some Canadians also travel to the US to avoid wait times.
It all comes down to how as a society you want to treat all people. In the US the idea to take care of your own problems is a prevalent one, why should you pay for someone else's conditions. While in other countries government has more say into what the basic standard of healthcare should be.
Yet what baffles me is why pharmaceutical companies waste money on commercials. Ask your doctor about ..., wtf is that.
