@Shlomo @DoubleD I experienced "free" healthcare when I lived in Canada for a year. It's not that the quality of Canadian healthcare is markedly worse than in the US. The access to that healthcare is though. Both countries provide the same pharmacologically driven diagnosis, prescriptions and outcomes. The access to those things for the Canadian citizen is dramatically lower than for the US citizen.

Here in the United States the hospitals have shareholders to make happy. That means they need lots of customers coming through their doors which means they invest in lots of advanced technology and highly skilled labor to attract those customers to their factories. There is no such investment incentive in Canada (or any other country that provides "free" healthcare) so their factories have much less investment.
