U.S. President Donald Trump says Canadians would have 'much better' health coverage if Canada became the 51st state.

U.S. President Donald Trump says Canadians would have “much better” health coverage if Canada became the 51st state.

He made the remarks during a briefing in North Carolina, where he toured areas struck by Hurricane Helene on Friday.

“I would love to see Canada be the 51st state,” he said. “The Canadian citizens, if that happened, would get a very big tax cut – a tremendous tax cut – because they are very highly taxed.”

“They’d have much better health coverage. I think the people of Canada would like it,” said the president.

    The following is from CancerCare Manitoba …

    How long you will wait for cancer surgery depends on your treatment plan, where your cancer is located, and how far advanced it has become. source

    I would also add you have to take into account the ‘health’ of the healthcare system in your location, ie: how many medical professionals are available for the population, how well healthcare is funded in your province, etc.

    And keep in mind that a stage 2 brain cancer radiation or surgery would likely take precident over a stage 2 ovarian cancer treatment, so there would be instances when treatment times cannot be equated with each other.
