People in Canada shouldn't feel that great anyways. The US has the worst healthcare out of developed countries, with Canada following as the 2nd worst. In no other developed country do you have to wait 2 years for certain appointments or surgical procedures.

From a list that I found, Finland, Australia, and Denmark rank lower than us but better than the USA. But regardless, we need politicians in Canada to start dealing with this problem. I have personally had nothing but great experiences with the healthcare system, and I used it a lot when I was younger (I am 21), but I have read about cases that make you step back and think.
