Canadian Healthcare Professionals Describe Their Real Health Care
Jump to Comments
In this video, Canadian physicians and nurses describe the real Canadian healthcare system to Americans (not the cartoon Canadian health care portrayed some American media and public discourse).
American viewers, accustomed to American bombast, hyperbolic rhetoric, rants, and apocalyptic jeremiads will have to adjust their TV sets accordingly in order to view the modest understatements of Canadians.

Thanks for posting this, Tom. As a Canadian living in the US, I’ve been feeling something akin to what one of the interviewees says on this video: misinformation about the Canadian healthcare system only hurts Americans, even though there’s a little part of me that wants to provide a corrective.
And yet, as a teacher in the US, I hate to see some of my students and their families having to make tough decisions based on healthcare questions (like staying in an unfulfilling job that doesn’t make use of their university degree because it provides healthcare). Anyway, this is a good video that certainly jives with my 25+ years of experience with Canadian healthcare.

This video was produced by the Canadian institute of health information? It’s good to see an unbiased report on Canadian health care finally!
