Canada's healthcare isn't even the best example of "free healthcare". There's stuff we need insurance for or have to pay out of our own pocket like dental, prescriptions, vision care, some non-mandatory vaccinations etc etc etc Some Countries in Europe have better coverage than we do. If the ranking was done on healthcare alone I doubt we'd be #1 on the list In fact I've read before that Canadian Healthcare on average is only 70% government funded (I'm sure it varies slightly by Province too tho) Compared to much of the developed world our healthcare isn't that "Free". But I guess by Trumps idea of what healthcare should be it's too socialist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% Although Canada is not the best example of free universal healthcare. We're actually only 70% government funded Contrary to what a lot of Americans believe, Canada has many segments of healthcare that are privatized and you must either have insurance for it or you pay out of your own pocket Some Nations in Europe had more health care coverage than we do I'm sure if it was healthcare alone Canada wouldn't be #1 on this list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
