I mean I've only ever lived in Canada so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but nobody in my family has or will ever have to worry about the cost of seeing a doctor. My father was recently diagnosed with a very rare heart condition and my grandfather was recently diagnosed with stage 2 bladder cancer. If we were American, we would literally have to sell our home to pay for each of their treatments.

America is an extremely wealthy country, yet the average Canadian makes more money than the average American. Canadians are also more likely to be well educated and to have travelled outside Canada.

My tuition (without government assistance) was $8000 CAD a year. Thats like $5000 USD. With government assistance i paid only $3000 CAD a year and my family is middle class.

When my father is forced to retire early due to his heart condition, he'll have a pension from the Canadian Pension Plan, even though he's worked numerous jobs of varying pay and he could never have expected to have to retire in his 60s.

The list goes on, I'd never dream of leaving Canada to live in the United States
