i don't mean any disrespect, but you don't really know what you are talking about when it comes to the "canadian system". Your information is not correct. I am a canadian who has had fairly extensive experience with the medical system here.

also, anyone who expects drive through MRI's on every corner in a country with only 30 million people spread out in the world's second largest country, geographically, needs a reality check. Apples to oranges comparisons of specific aspects of two different systems in 2 radically different demographics are not useful.

Jeff, get real. You see the interviews with the doctors in england?

"So.... you get free healthcare, have a new audi, and make over 125kE a year?"

"Yep!"

Ok...

Then, increase cost of living by 4x, take them almost 50%+ and yeah, sounds great..

Move to Hong Kong. Universal health care, average 15% income tax, no sale tax, no property tax.

Downside is 100% tax on all cars.
