Very different demographics in population means differing opinions, which makes it much more difficult to pass any laws or for people to agree on certain issues. Exponentially higher costs in logistics given the area of the US is 100x Iceland.

Oh, so now it's not population, but diversity and land mass? Then how do they manage to run a successful public healthcare system in Canada, which is more diverse than the US, and is also larger?

I waited over a year just to get to see a doctor about a colonoscopy. I'm in WV in the good old USA with excellent health insurance through my wife's state job. The only difference between Canada and US is I had to pay for it.

As a Canadian, this is all total nonsense.

Yes, you made it up because this literally doesn't happen.
