Yup...And in Canada you won't be on a waiting list for 6 months if you choose to be euthanized. That is literally an immediate outpatient procedure!

Check how much we pay for Medicare.

I have to say that my experience with health care in Canada has been excellent.
I have had numerous visits to the ER with chest pain which were all taken very seriously. Triage and treatment was immediate with bloodwork, ultrasounds , CT scans, stress tests, CT angiograms etc.
I was referred very quickly to many specialists and eventually presented with a NS heart attack requiring 2 stents.
I was stabilized over a 2 week hospital stay and then transported to another hospital by ambulance for the angiogram and stent placement.
On another occasion I went to the hospital with double pneumonia which was as well treated quickly and a 13 day hospital stay.
Much better now on all fronts but each trip I walked out the door with only a thankyou.
It’s elective procedures and minor non threatening issues that perhaps fall through the cracks.

Since Canada, with its 40 million population is about equal to California's 39 million (legal) citizens, I'm looking forward to the day Canada is the 51st state. We will have continuity now all the way to Alaska and the resources of the great northern territories. Only Hawaii will be adrift and we will then have to coin the term, "Lower 50."
