I would have thought that the number of deaths per capita in the US because insufficient funds to pay for healthcare, greatly exceeds the number of deaths per capita in Canada because of waiting times.
And in any case, Canada does not have the only public healthcare system in the world. There are many that do not have such extreme waiting times.
(Of course, this whole discussion is academic, since the US is incapable of implementing any public healthcare system, waiting times or not).
It's illegal to not treat someone who is going to die because they are uninsured. They just get stuck with a massive bill. It's untrue that the US cant implement public healthcare... They have had it for years in the form of Medicare.
1. Who was talking about deaths? Sorry, but healthcare is more than just life and death. That being said, your post screams ignorance of universal healthcare.
