Most of them do NOT make as much as doctors do. And please don't tell me that all doctors are worth the money they make: even without living down there, I have seen many examples of MDs that I wouldn't let work on a cow. They were the ones who chose their profession, and mouthed the Hippocratic Oath, with the dollar signs dancing in their eyes. Canadian doctors make good money as well, but they somehow remember that helping people is what it is really all about.

As far as travelling outside the US is concerned, let us tell you one more time: the US system is 40% more expensive than the Canadian system (and EVERYONE is covered) with no difference in competence. We don't all live in igloos here, sir, and have paved roads; our hospitals are as up-to-date as most in the US with as many competent physicians and nurses on staff. Perhaps you should do a bit more research, develop some perspective on this subject simply by learning how the rest of the world operates. Not all your medical research should come from Faux News....
Canada is infamous with loooong waiting times. In America, if I need surgery today or tomorrow, I get it with no problem. I'm not put on a waiting list for 6 months like Canada.

In Great Britain, they are already denying things like breast cancer treatment for women leaving them to die.

Plus, you mention our high cost. Yes, there's some waste that needs addressing. Conservatives are pushing for tort reform and LESS bureaucracy which are two huge cost factors. This new plan will greatly increase bureaucracy.

Plus, one thing to keep in mind is, is that the best of something is almost always the most expensive.
