Why do Americans hate the Canadian health system so much?

If you even mention the health care system in Canada, Americans post all sorts of nasty things. Why should they care? Are they so jealous and petty? Many Americans who live near the border travel to Canada for our health and dental care. They have to pay cash but get it for a fraction of what it costs in the US. I bet you didn't know that you Yankee dogs.





Why don't you just worry about your own health care problems and leave us alone? If we want it changed, we will change it.

Why do Americans hate the Canadian health system so much?
I'm an American and am extremely envious of your health care system. Our government down here only cares about making money for businesses, and the citizens come second.





It's a shame that as one of the most powerful countries in the world, there are people going bankrupt because they suffer an illness one time and don't have insurance--leaving them $100,000 in debt. It's all a joke.





I'd gladly move to Canada if they'd take me.

Reply:I agree. I think the Canadian health care system has our pathetic multi-billion dollar a year scam beat.





I say we invade Canada, enslave their people, rape their land for its resources, and then adopt their health system. Thanks Canada.
Reply:Seem like I've heard that Canada ,has health care for all it's people, Possibly payed for in a tax on income?? Any how I'm thinking it sounds like a great idea, and down here in the States, we don't have a system like that. And Insurance is very expensive. I'm betting it's the envy factor.
Reply:Americans don't hate anything about Canada. Maybe some do, but you make it look like every American hates your health system. Maybe one out of tens of thousands even know anything about it.
Reply:In my opinion the Americans are just envious of your good health care in Canada. What you don´t have you envy the other who has it. It´s as simple as that. (Human nature, I´m sad to say.)
