It's Wikipedia, so be very careful, but likely a less biased comparison of the USA/Canadian health care systems than a Michael Moore film.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadia...stems_compared

Truth is, there are scare mongers on both sides of the equation that are effectively paralyzing reforms in both countries . . . . and both countries could probably learn something beneficial - as well as things to avoid - from the other.

That is what is somewhat remarkable about Hillary Clinton's position, that a form of universal healthcare is coming to America . . . . a genuine ball breaker.

Meanwhile, if you're willing to pay, there is a growing market for very cheap but largely effective complicated surgeries in places like India, allowing you to escape back breaking costs in America or paralyzing wait times in Canada.
