Unreal, Since I happen to know a lot of Canadians who can't stand the system they have and come here for simple things. The only good thing they have going is the prescription prices. If you don't want or can't afford insurance that's not the rest of the country's fault.
You want real reform? Simple, allow insurance company's to compete nation wide, reduce the amount of money a Doctor can be sued for, AKA Tort reform. Sorry as a person who is on medicare, and who has cancer, I would not trade our system for all the money in the world. As it stands now, if this awful bill (can't call it reform because that would be a lie) gets passed I will lose 2 out of 5 of my personal Doctors who will retire rather then take another pay cut.
Not to mention we are not replacing the number of Doctors we are losing each year. This will only make things worse.
