The first site is somewhat balanced, the second is pro and the third against the last two are both written by people have lived in both countries.
Read especially the pro and against and weigh their points against each other, because it makes it seem clear (imo) that what is wrong with the Canadian system (the long waits and the unavailability of treatments) would not happen here because in the US we have far more trained doctors. Also, for the people less liberal than I am, consider that the system we have now allows illegal immigrants to receive health care and then leave the bills to citizens. In socialized care, they wouldn't be part of that system unless they were citizens, so the situation wouldn't arise.
