They're only using Canada

to push their universal health care. However there are other questions to ask such as food safety and protection, do they homogenize the crap out of their dairy??? Do they use high fructose corn syrups by the ton? Do they have all the mandatory vaccines that we have? I think you can purchase hemp foods there as well, do they have more NON GMO foods such as produce, meat and dairy? And what's their pollution and environmental scorecard look like? Too many variables here, I swear the MSM is grapsing for straws, and pretty soon air, if they keep up their BS. We could possibly be the healthiest nation on this earth, if all the factors above (and more) were present in our nations food supply and eco-system. It's definitely doable. But as always, the special interest's greed, has been winning over health and safety, for many many years.

Bogus Criteria

For example Life expectancy is not only related to the health care system, it is related to diet, genetics, environment, and other lifestyle issues.

I bet if you compared minnesota to canada, they would be about equal

Yes they would..Their

Yes they would..Their citizens come to America with the serious problems their lousy system will not pay for..Americas system reflects population from around the World even when it is over taxed with American patients ..Where are these people now going to go to get full & proper treatment ? Death & living with ailment will become acceptable practice...good luck withyour health issues in the future, your going to need it.. Americas' system will certainly pass Canadas as soon as we get rationing like them..

Stupidest report EVAR.

Somebody should email Canada, and tell them that grades are "politically incorrect" since it can result in making people feel bad.

my personal opinion of healthcare here in Canada

is good not great but good...I saw statistics pointing out that 10% of Canadian GDP goes to healhcare here as compared to 16% of USA GDP so it is obvious your system is not working big pharma is stealing your money.

Did you ever stop to think

Did you ever stop to think that maybe America treats 2x the patients that Canada does ?

Don't waste your time

Statistics aren't going to change anyone's mind on this subject.

I don't care if I change anyones mind on this issue

just putting forth info they can easily do their own research on.

The best way to inform someone is if one makes them do their own study on the subject.

hey I am heading west again we could meet again if you want.
