The people of Canada do not in any way face the kinds of problems that millions of people in the US face with it comes to health issues. In Canada, one can go to a doctor and get preventative health care. Canadians can be screened for illnesses that are not fatal if treated, but if not treated, will eventually kill them. Millions of people in the US cannot do that. Millions of people in the US do not have access to regular screenings for treatable cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other treatable health problems, and if they do find themselves facing these illnesses, they are not able to afford the treatments. This is not the case in Canada, where everyone can get screened, as well as treated for these as well any other health problems they experience.
