There are some five million people who received health insurance cancellation letters because of Obamacare with perhaps millions more to go, so Bette Midler is indeed correct that there are some additional health care related concerns in the U.S.
However, some didn’t agree with Midler’s blanket praise for the Canadian system:
@BetteMidler but again, we have overcrowded hospitals and a shortage of docs. I once waited 26 hrs for an emergency surgery..

@BetteMidler Sounds great until you want something done in a timely manner. Waiting a yr for certain med procedures isn't all that relaxing.

@BetteMidler …unless you are one of the Canadians on months-long waiting lists for MRI's, heart surgery, cancer treatment…

@BetteMidler yes my Canadian friend doesn't have to worry about health care… God rest his soul. Took 2 yrs to long for a transplant.
