lendaddy that is a load of crap.
Access to healthcare in Canada is universal. You get sick - you get treated. It is that simple.
Yes there can be waits for elective procedures - but these are not outrageous. My old mum has had both hips and both knees replaced in Canada for nothing more than a monthly premium of C$38 - and is playing golf again. She had to wait a couple of months for these operations - but so what. This is not life threatening stuff.
People in Canada at all income levels enjoy open access to the health-care system. This makes for a quality of life you cannot even begin to dream about in the US.
Now the system is not perfect - I will grant you this. But having lived all over the US and Canada I can tell you where the average person feels better looked after - and that is here.
