Canada's health care system is definately not better. I've used it and experienced it.
At one point, in one province (can't remember which) the waiting period for services related to childbirth was 10 months. If you need a specific test or procedure that requires a specific apparatus, you may be put on a waiting list as the country only has 5 that get transported back and forth on a first come first serve basis.

That is not to say I don't believe the industry is crooked, immoral, and actually cares about a patients overall health, but to say the canadian system is superior is madness. I will say the MO of the medical practice is different, and more in the interest of the patient rather than profit. But $ motivates efficiency....what a mess.
