I was in a couple of places over the last year with over a dozen Canadians. After brief introductions and NO prior political talk, whenever I met a Canadian, I asked about their health care and if they were satisfied.

100% - yes, 100% of the Canadians that I asked are very satisfied with their government health insurance. Most of the folks were 55+ in age, but not all. One person went on to say that he read in the paper of someone from Canada coming to the US because they couldn't get care (reminded me of stories that I read about surgeons in the USA amputating the wrong leg or replacing the wrong knee). But he went on to say the he had his hip replaced - took about 2 weeks to schedule it - and the care is wonderful.

One of my friends works at a telephone company in Florida. She told me there are many Canadian residents that vacation in Florida. In fact, they stay 6 months MINUS one day to be sure to be able to keep their Canadian health coverage.
