PJTV Undercover: Steven Crowder Investigates Why CanadaCare Sucks
I’m also an American and live in Canada. The system here is not perfect. Yes, there are waits for some services, and even to get a family doctor. And it’s also true that lots of things–dental care, vision care, prescription drugs, most physical therapy–aren’t part of the public insurance system.
On the other hand, you don’t have to worry about having to fight with your insurance company about coverage, and face possibly ruinous health care bills if you lose, the way you would in the States. And you don’t have to worry about losing your coverage if you change your job or become unemployed.
