There are massive wait times in my country though and a lack of specialist doctors we also aren’t insured for everything I haven’t been to a dentist in six years because I can’t afford it and our public system does not cover it.

Today, U.S. government statistics rank Canada’s infant mortality rate of 4.7 per thousand 23rd out of 225 countries, in the company of the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Australia, and Denmark. The U.S. is 43rd–in the company of Croatia and Lithuania, below Taiwan and Cuba.

In Canada, the United States is used as a model and as a warning against increasing private sector involvement in health care.

In the United States, infant mortality rates are 7.1 per 1,000, the highest in the industrialized world — much higher than some of the poorer states in India, for example, which have public health systems in place, at least for mothers and infants. Among the inner-city poor in the United States, more than 8 percent of mothers receive no prenatal care at all before giving birth.
