Health care: Americans in Canada

The survey was biased against the Canadian system and still the ones who expressed a preference for the US system were less than 1/2 of the sample and only beat the ones who expressed a preference for Canada by 5%. Impossible to do, but it would be great to see a similar survey for the uninsured and those on Medicaid.

I agree with the first commenter. For most highly-educated, high-wage earners, the U.S. system isnt so bad because they can afford health care and usually lead healthier lives (eat better, afford to go to gym, etc). Thus, they are likely to feel that the US system is favorable.

This study would have been better to compare low-income,American-Canadians with or without health care insurance to low-income Canadians.

LOL@5:06..Your kidding right?And your personal experience with this is what? ive been through this and the American system sucks big time for those who are seriously ill and have no ins.

I am a Canadian living in the United States. As a healthcare professional, if I got sick I would definitely choose the Canadian system over the American. I feel the Canadian system is as good if not better. I have never had a Canadian heart surgeon say to keep their surgical pt alive at all costs for the 30 days to protect his reputation. Then the 30days pass and they pull the plug. Check it out.
