DerekVallintine Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Thank you very much, my wife and I came to Canada from England in !968 and have never regretted the move. We have travelled in the US quite a lot and enjoyed the great scenery and the wonderful hospitality we received wherever we went. Like you said Michael, we couldn't ask for better neighbours.

There is something to be said for the great universal health care that you guys have up there in Canada but this poor lady's prosthetic legs need to be tweaked some. ??

Don't say that. I'm supposed to have a hip replacement (if I don't chicken out) later this year. The system isn't perfect, but at least everyone is covered. I've got no complaints so far.

To be fair, the situation is much more complicated (an understatement) in the USA, for a variety of reasons. Also, Canada started moving towards universal healthcare decades ago, province by province at first. No doubt, when the US does figure out how to establish universal coverage at a reasonable cost to all of its citizens, it will be one of the best systems in the world. This could take a long while, though, by the looks of it. At least the debate is alive and kicking (or "alive and tweeting" ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
