It may work if PETA deems Polar Bears and Eskimos endangered species.

They will be if their asses make it past the Mason-Dixon line. I can hear the rednecks getting their hunting rifles ready now.

I would absolutely love to live in Canada as I feel my values are closer to their average than America's. But I have job stability and a 6 figure income, and I'd have to have that before I even consider it.

here is simple example, in my industry (I have 6 figure income as well ) our company in last year alone hired 4 new USA graduates. When I talked to them what brings them to Canada, they all stated that it was better income. Obviously in different fields situation can be opposite but it was very interesting to me neverless.

Your point is that Canadian medical care is better than American. Who does Germany fit into that?

My point was about average people. You were talking about quality of USA doctors. Bryant example was that even millioner who can afford to pay for the best and most expensive doctor in USA could not find one to help him and needed to go to Germany to get it done - thus quality of USA doctors is not that great at the end of the day.
But I am not arguing about quality of USA doctors at the end of the day. I am looking at perspectives of average Canadian and USA citizen when facing serious injury or disease. Great if you have lots of money in USA. Not so great if you do not. So average Canadian facing serious disease is better in that regard vs average American - which was my point in original statement.

NO I was not. I was talking about other factors that play into determining who has better medical care. I never claimed that American doctors were better than Canadian ones. I certainly never mentioned Germany till you brought them up. I will say this simple...

Free healthcare by itself does not always mean better than somewhere where it is not free. You have to look at more than that.

We good?

None of the countries are perfect.
There are lots of things which in USA are better. Numerous canadians have homes in southern part of USA and spend winter time there and enjoy cheaper gas, food, alcohol and better climate. But to state as Silencer did that Canada needs to take over at least in one thing is a bit ignorant. We do have lots of advantages over USA as well:)
