“A new poll conducted by the Toronto-based Nanos Research points to overwhelming support — 86.2 percent — for strengthening public health care rather than expanding for-profit services.
“With more than 8 in 10 Canadians supporting public solutions to make public health care stronger, there is compelling evidence that Canadians across all demographics would prefer a public over a for-profit health care system,” said Nik Nanos, president of Nanos Research.”
I’m confused where the talking point came from that Canadians don’t like their health care system. I lived in canada for two months in grad school, and everyone I spoke to was either satisfied with their system, or indifferent (but glad they don’t have a system like the US). Average wait times to see a doctor without an appointment were a couple hours, with a few weeks to a month to see a specialist; not that different from wait times with out system.
Bottom line, given the choice of keeping their current system, or swapping with us and paying a little less taxes, Canadians for the most part would keep their system.
