300 bucks a month for health insurance that doesn't do shit anyway?
I know that the Canadian system is a little slow and red-tapey... but it's infinitely better than the 10s of millions of Americans fucked if they're in a catastrophic situation... and, hell, in Canada, you can still buy supplimental private care for the little day-to-day situations.
Yeah sure, if you're filthy rich, American health care is probably better for the flu or a broken arm...
But the bottom line is, in Canada, if you get cancer or in a car wreck or something big, you're cared for and cared for well without killing your savings.
Which is awesome.
