Canadians starting to demand the privatized USA Health Care system....... [View all]

No they are not actually. They love their system. They don't want ours. Actually, Canadians are very happy with their Health Care. See below.

This is what I tell all my right wing friends, so should you......If the USA system is so much better then why does Canada not demand Aetna and Blue Cross come to Canada and implement the USA plan! I have not heard Canadians march in the streets and say "We demand the USA private insurance plan!!!"

Lets face it, the GOP knows Britain and Canada do not think the USA has better health care. But since that means "The USA is not perfect" then it means Canada and Britain are wrong. And we cannot ever question "American Perfection"!

An international survey reveals that Canadians, compared to residents of other countries, are generally happy with our health care system.

The Deloitte survey, conducted in April and May of this year, queried 15,735 health care consumers in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Mexico, Portugal, Switzerland, the UK, and the U.S. with regards to their attitudes about their health-care systems.

When asked to grade the overall performance of their medical system, most Canadians, 50 per cent, gave a score of "A" (excellent) or "B" very good.

Systems in Luxembourg (69 per cent), Belgium (57 per cent), Switzerland (52 per cent), France (51 per cent), also earned an "A" or "B" score.

Conversely, 57 per cent of consumers in Brazil, 44 per cent in Mexico, 37 per cent in the U.S. and 33 per cent of consumers in Portugal give their health care system's performance a failing grade.

The study also charted the health care expenditures, as a percentage of GDP, of each of the 12 countries researched. Canadians, the report notes, spends 10.4 per cent of their GDP on health care compared to China at 4.7 per cent and the United States at 17.6 per cent.
