Bret ..... your post is interesting, and of course there are Canadians that head south for the quick health care to avoid lineups in Canada. They pay for it of course, and pay big time, it isn't cheap. But those Canucks you see down there are the well-heeled wealthy of which we have our share like any country. But why are there lineups in Canada and not so much down south?
Well, every Canadian is covered by our universal health care regardless of income or extra benefit packages through their employer. I'm retired for example and have a moderate income. Three years ago I had colon cancer and I went to the head of the line within two weeks and had surgery and follow up (still continuing with checks, etc) at absolutely no cost. Sure, I pay income tax but not a whole lot. Why are lineups shorter down south? Well look at it this way ...... they wouldn't be short if everyone had health care provided by the government. Service is slow up here for everyday stuff too because people up here unfortunately go to the emergency department at big hospitals or smaller clinics to get a sliver removed from their foot which is crazy.
Two years ago I had knee replacement surgery, once again no cost. I didn't go to the head of the line that time though, I had to wait about 6 months. I could have headed south and had it done, a friend of mine flew to Denmark and paid $18,000 for an immediate knee fix. I chose to wait since I didn't have that kind of walkin' around money burning a hole in my pocket. So there is always a side to every story that sometimes gets overlooked. As for salaries, I can't comment on health care workers but I do know that Canadian school teachers do pretty good as compared to their US counterparts.

Today's Featured Article - Fordson Model N: Field Service Operations and Lubrication - by Anthony West. The daily or weekly servicing of any vehicle is of the utmost importance, and in days gone by when our favorite tractors were doing an important and Commercially vital job on the farm, these service operations would make a major difference to the running costs and economy of the farm. This being so, it surprises me to see how many enthusiasts attending rallies, shows etc, seem to be unaware of the importance of this constant attention. Possibly the modern machine with its 6,000 mile or even once
