The average wait for care in Canada is 17 weeks. The US has a higher machine to patient ratio than any other country. If you have access to care, and the majority of American do, America has the best care in the world.
yet if you dont have health care you're basically fucked doesnt matter how sick you are...i'm not interested in a system that treats people with more money first 
as for the wait times...well alot of doctors go to where the $$$ is...Canada trains and schools alot of Doctor's yet they go to other countries for employment
again the bolded part is the downfall of your statement...in Canada EVERYONE has access to healthcare

I refuse to change from having the best and most efficient care in the world to a mediocre system just because a very small minority can't receive care. If only 1% are without the option of care, I'd say we're doing pretty damn good.
if you think the USA has the best care in the world you're delusional...and not everyone in the USA is in a position to receive good coverage...hell my father was a CEO of a company and he didnt have the proper care to pay for his expenses when he fell ill and the illness ultimately bankrupted him
as for finding a better job and beniftis to match for your family...its a hard proposition. even for us up here in canada, i looked long and hard to change positions to have one thats better suited to my family...i finaly did it but i took a paycut to do so...and the financial state of the US economy right now, i can only imagine its harder south of the border
another thing....try not to get personal in this section....we love to keep it open for those of you who enjoy debating but if things get nasty then we'll have to reaccess the purpose of the section...but imo its not here to start personal fights
