Our Canadian medical system is absolutely wonderful ... no question about that!! All health care is free, including doctor's visits, yearly physicals, catscans, MRIs, etc. If you have a serious illness, you will immediately go to the "head of the line" and receive the very finest in medical care!
Canadians may have to wait a bit longer for "optional" operations such as hip and knee replacements. Wealthy Canadians sometimes opt to visit the US to pay for these procedures so they can have them immediately.
But if you have a heart attack, stroke, car accident, cancer, or any type of catastrophy ... the medical system is 100%! And I speak from personal experience.

That is great to hear. I will go and tell my Canadian customers that they are all liars and don't know what they are talking about.
They were complaining about how it might take 6 weeks to see a doctor. The convenience of it all was the major concern and not being able to see a doctor when they needed one. Not the actual quality of the health care.
