Americans share why they chose Canada over the United States

27.

“I came here 22 years ago to study at university. It felt like home, and now it is.”

“The only place I would consider moving to in the United States is my hometown. Sometimes I look at real estate listings and get tempted. But then, I think about how I can move to one of the best school districts in one of the school districts.” Best state systems, that would be a downgrade for my son, and it doesn’t seem like an option anymore.

The other thing is that I know my sister had trouble finding a primary care provider there as well, and I have some concerns about the quality of care leading up to my father’s death earlier this year.

So, yes, as concerned as I am about the United States and the future of our health care systems here in Canada, I think that even the bright sides of the American system may seem less bright.
