One of the big reasons that Canadian and other socialist health care systems work as well as they do is that they benefit from the R&D done by capitalist health care systems. Basically, if the entire world converted to socialized medicine, medical progress would slow down dramatically, and people in need of major surgery would be in major trouble. Right now, Canada gets all of the benefits of a socialist program while, at the same time, knowing that they can cross the border if they need immediate, high quality, or unusual procedures.
