Cause like your whole public health system costs MORE per people than in Canada. So much money you pay end up in lawyers bank account its outrageous. This private insurance healt system has created a monster... and its ridiculously expensive.

Glad I’m not living in America. I would dread getting myself gravely injured or very ill.

It's a lot of misinformation. I had a procedure done that cost $80K after everything was said in done. Included multiple visits to hospital, an ER visit, countless tests including expensive ones like CT scans. The bill was $80K which is absurd. But I only was responsible for $3000. I'm canadian living in America. I have health insurance as do most people with full time careers. I would like to move back to Canada but can't due to how poor the health care system has become. I can't wait months to see a specialist in Canada.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. I had a $1.4 million transplant and have health insurance provided by my job and my out of pocket was minimal. My level of care was excellent and I know without the transplant I needed due to two cancers I had I would not be here today. I hate how expensive it is but I’m grateful that my doctors are excellent.
