On Canadian healthcare

From an article about Canadian healthcare system compared to American one:
Canadians have a longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality rates and lower rates of obesity and diabetes than people in the United States. Canadians' primary care doctors get paid more and spend more time with their patients than doctors across the border to the south.

But Canadians also wait twice as long for non-emergency care and sometimes come to the U.S. for specialized treatment.

Plus, comparing to Americans, they are just lame. I mean, they are like a bad mix between French, Italians and those Brits who live on the border of England and Wales.
