usa i believe is better...land of great opportunities

Uk is far better than USA. Even d issue of gun possesion is enough to run for dt USA.

None!

There is no need for comparison in the first place, both countries have their advantages and disadvantages. It all boils down to choice and other personal factors.

I love the USA as the land of opportunities, but the UK on the other hand has some edge in some areas too.

From what I know, jobs in the USA pay higher

Tax and VAT is better in USA than UK.

In the UK healthcare and many other things are 100% free. For example, my father inlaw had open heart surgery 100% free.

Because of free healthcare I would prefer UK. And again the UK is better in terms of security, the gun violence in USA is scary.

For me Canada wins it eventhough CA was not included. Free medicare, better security than UK/USA etc.

Free Medicare in Canada !!!! My friend, someone may think that the medicare care in Canada is a bed of roses. Far be it.

Please be advised that the Health care you get for free in Canada is only the basic that does not include coverage of any prescription medication nor any cost of the dentist neither the eye care. You are on your own if your doctor have prescribed you a $15 per day drug that you have to take for a length of 6 months. You are on your own if you have issue with your teeth or your eyes.

Given these facts, most of us need to buy addition health insurance from private company. In addition to that, the most visible manifestation of Canada’s failing health care system are wait times for health care services. Have you ever been to an emergency room at any Canadian Hospital?

You indicated that your father in law had open heart surgery 100% free in the UK. I am not sure if this could be free in Canada.
All I know is that some Canadians travel to Cuba for low cost surgeries not covered by the Canadian Universal healthcare or Medicare

You are spot on. Even though there is no free healthcare in US despite obama fighting for it, we still have Obamacare. American hospitals would not reject someone brought to hospital for not having money because Medicaide will pay for that. I know of one elderly man that came to visit his daughter and he was rushed to the hospital. Guess what, he had Heart bypass surgery and it was paid for by Medicaid. America would not let you die on the street for not having money. By the way, i believe america has the best healthcare in the world.

Chai you see I didn't know about these things since I don't live in Canada. Thanks for clarifying. I used to think its all rosy in Canada because of the way people talk about it. Well the UK is better then, because I know so many people who are on medication for heart, diabetes and diff ailments for over 10 years and everything is free. The UK healthcare is in crisis too bc the number of people with diabetes is alarming, the amount they spend just to take care of diabetes patients alone is enough to feed many African countries for whole year.

It all depends on the individual and what the person want.

Some like Uk, others USA.

No society / country is 100% good.

People will always have a choice in everything, over others.
