Why would anybody want to live in Canada over the US?

Vancouver is pretty badass that plus whistler being a somewhat short drive away... if the money was right i'd leave tomorrow
 
If you work you purchase insurance, there are numerous plans, or if you don't work you still qualify for government plans (before the silly healtrabroadill passed) like Cobra that can cover you. You still pay a premium (but you guys do to and a high tax) and you pay a percentage of your treatment.

Many who don't work, don't bother to signup for any plans or bother to signup for government assistance still get treated when they show up at an ER. No one is ever turned away and everyone recieves treatment in the order they arrived.

Our system is under great strain now because we have millions and millions of aliens in our country using it and not paying and huge portion of citizens here don't work and don't bother to get any type of insurance on anything.
 
Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, and SSI all cost money. Contrary to what most people believe there was already "government health insurance" for the people that needed it in the US.
 
well I'm one of those that disagrees that healthcare should be a right. If you've smoked a pack of cigs a day for 20 years and all a sudden get lung cancer it shouldn't be up to the tax payer to fix your durabass
 
But if they lose the incentive, why are more Canadian people healthier than Americans? And Canada spenRAB less per capita on healthcare than the states does by a considerable chunk

I also don't really like the indicidualistic attitude of the states, but some people might see it as a positive where I see it as a huge negative. Look out for yourself of course, but there are other people you share a country with that need help too. And they might not be able to provide it for themselves. I don't feel it makes them less worthy to receive it
 
Yes but what if you can't afford insurance. that x% of your population who can't afford it amounts to millions of people. My ex who lives in Michigan works part-time at Younkers and they don't offer insurance to part-time workers. She can't afford it herself either.

My uncle who moved to California, now an American citizen tells me he pays 2,000 a month for health insurance, not sure if he's blowing smoke up my ass or not though. That's a freaking insane amount.
