"Canada's health care system knows its mediocre at the best of times" sorry what? you seen south of the border? 50,000 people die a year because they don't have access to health care... they have 3rd world disease spreading...they have what looks like 3rd world humanitarian efforts where doctors/dentist etc go to parts of the USA to provide basic healthcare... its a joke for one of the richest countries in the world.

https://youtu.be/JHDkALRz5Rk?t=1454 people need to see this when they push for privatization

mean while Saskatchewan moved to privatize MRI because they said it "would increase capacity and be cheaper" and what happened when money got involved? now rich people skip the line and guess what? it got more expensive and the wait times doubled for the regular people... Canadian system is not perfect we don't have universal pharmacare yet but hopefully we will soon, but thinking we should go the route of America is crazy.
