Oh yeah, I forgot how awesome Canada is, how foolish of me. They have such awesome healthcare, they MUST be better than the United States...

A little story... my entire family (including myself) were in Montreal about 10 months ago. My grandmother's arm got caught in an elevator, and because she has such thin sensitive skin, it ripped a large chunk off and she was bleeding profusely. The hotel called an ambulance. 45 minutes later, ambulance arrives and she goes to the local hospital. She sits in the waiting room for 4 hours, NEVER seeing a doctor or nurse or recieving any care from anyone. She has enough and leaves, deciding to wrap it in bandages and gauze and hope that works. The next day she gets a $310 ambulance bill from the hotel. So don't even start to tell me about healthcare...
