Yes, it’s too “BAD” that Canada’s economy is dependent on the US and that the taxes are so high for your socialized medicine when you need to see a specialize (up to 6 months!)
There are waiting lists, and they affect less than 3% of our system.
The taxes are high, but not much higher than yours. In fact, the U.S. spends more per capita on healthcare than Canada without providing it to all it citizens.
What you’re regurgitating, bleuze, are the same falacies exagerated and spread by those who want to preserve the status quo in the United States regarding health care.
The facts are easily available for anybody who cares to seek them out. Some sources:
U.S. spends twice as much as its neighbor, but Americans fare worse, findings show
There are many more credible sources. Seek and ye shall find.
