It was not my intent to compare Canada's healthcare to the US. The point in the original article posted is that "illegal", according to the NY times, clinics are being established to address wait times. In my opinion that is an indicator that the system will eventually fail. Experts further cite ethical and legal problems with wait times and a need to improve how limited resources are best allocated. In my opinion this is another indicator he system will eventually fail.

US heathcare has problems, in my opinion, for different reasons. One being the passive approch consumers take with healthcare and healthcare insurance. Another, as pointed out an in article linked above, are the large numbers of people who by choice opt out of purchasing healthcare insurance. In addition there are far too many capable of paying people who get virtually free healthcare.
