"Whatever flaws there are in the Canadian system it is still far superior to that in the US unless you are very wealthy"

Let's be realistic - you honestly don't know enough about U.S. health care to make a comparison much less claim superiority. But I love hearing this worn out Canadian myth over and over. It always makes me feel so "rich". I have 3 major policies, two cost the same per month as Canadians pay for 1 fill-up of gas and the other is absolutely free. I have complete med care, office visits, dental, eyeglasses, prescriptions and chiropractic visits. I keep going to see my banker though, to make sure they haven't hid some of my money in an effort to explain my "very wealthy" status.  But the answer is always the same. Oh well, but PLEASE keep repeating the myth  - my financial status takes an upswing at every reading.
