[QUOTE="Rajder, post: 1339234, member: 11636"] First of all, I keep hearing that argument about people coming here to have their health care procedures done but I've never actually seen any real statistics about it. My guess is that there are only a handful of rich people who come to the US for their health care. There are also a bunch of Canadians who wont come to the US because they are scared of our health care system. And there are Americans who try to use the Canadian system because they can't afford our system. My guess is all of those people are in a statistical minority. But our health care system is the best, but only for the people who have wealth. For the other 95% of the population it is not so good. The simple truth is that we are way behind those socialist countries with their "socialized" medicine in every measurable health factor. That part doesn't bother me because I expect it. The part that bothers me is that we spend more money on our health care than all of those socialized countries only to get subpar results. Something is seriously wrong with our system. I completely agree with you there. [/QUOTE]
