You will be looked after when really needed. A friend in northern BC mother had a heart attack, went to the local small hospital, they called the air ambulance (cessena citation), she was in Vancouver within 3hrs for treatment, all tax payer funded.
Our friends to the south have been fed allot of propaganda on health care. In Canada the wages are higher (for average folks), taxes are higher, we still live and play like americans, if you want to work you can do very well with out the worry of a disease or accident wiping out your finacials. Ya , could be better in that it takes time for elected surgeries. Like I said to flavour, if you want to see the future , just drive 2 hours north.
