    a decent amount of americans seem to think they are the global best in every category so probably not obvious enough even.

      I hate having to explain this to people when I talk about the insane cost of healthcare in the US.

      “but US healthcare is the best so of course it’s going to be the most expensive”

      No, you moron. It’s the exact same procedure by equally qualified doctors using the same equipment.

        meanwhile here it’s generally not expensive, but we can’t seem to come up with a reasonable way for foreign doctors to gain canadian credentials and continue to have waits anywhere from hours to coming the next day instead
