To do so, we must look at some common misconceptions of the Canadian health care system. Firstly, there is the belief that Canadians “flock” to the United States to receive medical care. Sure, some people that do well financially come to the United States for their medical care, but for the rest of the population, that is not the case. A study done by Health Affairs conducted a survey of 136 ambulatory care centers close to the U.S.-Canada border in Michigan, New York, and Washington.

When considering poverty, Third World countries, like Ethiopia, often come to mind. Unfortunately, even a country like Canada, where generally citizens enjoy exceptional health, education, a growing economy, and quality of life is so much higher than many other places in the world, struggles with poverty.
