You know, this is never a debate about which system is "better" - it comes down to how one views their society.

In Canada, and in virtually every western nation, societies have made the decision that everyone will contribute via their tax dollars so that everyone receives good healthcare.

In the US, society has made the decision that if you can afford high end healthcare, you should pay for it yourself, and if those less able to afford it get lesser quality or no healthcare, so be it.

Arguing over whether one system is "better" is futile - the debate is not about the quantifiable merits of each system, it is about society as a whole.
