Am Canadian. This isn't something I've ever heard and smells like FUD by people who have never been through the Canadian healthcare system.

The system has room for improvement, but is not broken in the way the IS system is.

I'm Canadian. I know someone who died because their cancer became inoperable during the 9 month wait for a scan. Might they have lived on the US system? Maybe.

Both systems have flaws. If I had to choose, I'd pick the Canadian system. But it's not a panacea.

I know serveral people of similar predicament

Thanksfully you've never been sick && live in a populated city in Toronto. Might be better in other places in Canada.
