I am pushing 50 years of age and one constant in my life is people shitting on the US healthcare system.

I have family in Canada with family members the same age on both sides.

Canada is great if you are a healthy broke college student.

No one in their right mind would ever pick Canadian health care over the US though if you are 60+.

There is no way you would rather have cancer in a country with free health care.

"There is no way you would rather have cancer in a country with free health care."

Unless you can't afford for-profit healthcare. Then any sane person would 100% prefer one of the fifty or so developed nations with free healthcare.
