Jack. Maybe they haven't figured out how to do a blind test on this subject.
Seriously, that crossection really is indicative of what most people here think about the two systems. There always going to be people who have a "horror" story to tell regardless of what health care they have. I've personally never encountered anyone who had to leave the country to get treated but it has been known to happen. I don't like our system because its very expensive to maintain and inefficient from a taxation point of view but like most folks here, I can justify it because of ease of access (just show a health card at the hospital or clinic) and the greater average life spans that Canadians enjoy compared to Americans.
