Canada has the best heathcare system in the world. We have a very decent public system, which allows us free to cheap decent healthcare, for everyone. Additionally, if you would like to cough up the extra bucks for some of the best heathcare quality, you head down to the states and pay what they pay.

This 1 way reletonship is very unique. I don't know of any other country in the world that has citizens that can choose between two healthcare systems so easily. Why create a new private option when we already have one south of our borders?
