I have talked to one Canadian about the universal health care they have up there. She said it sucks. BAD. Yea everyone can get treatment.... But by everyone they mean EVERYONE. You break your arm? Have fun waiting in line all day with that broken arm while you wait for your turn. She said she was happy to pay for faster medical service.

Insurance companies are the devil! I work with an older lady who has some problem with her knee. It constantly hurts her and she has to go in twice a year and have it drained or something just so she can continue to walk. They consider it elective and she has to pay for it all herself. Other than that and the fact that she is in her 60s, she is actually in rather good health. This kind of thing happens all over the place all the time with insurance companies. Most people would be better off just putting their money in a savings account.
