The medical system in Canada is fair and high quality to everyone, rich or poor. The medical system in China only treats the rich well. The doctors in China generally lack a strong sense of responsibility.
Not saying the system here is the best, but with that kind of money and fairness, it's very hard to improve much. Take a look at the medical system in Scandinavian nations, they have thir own problems.
By the way, doctors in China tend to use stronger medicines, a common problem is antibiotics. This is not the same in here, US or Europe.

Chinese doctors usually give out quick diagnostic, because the phisician fee is low, and their money is made from prescription drug. Whether the diag. is right or wrong, is another story. It's the good old tradition of the "Chinese Medicine". In China, money was traditionally made, from the medicine that a doctor sold.
I have met many Chinese doctors in both CA & US, what shocked me is that, they as modern-trained "western physician", still believe in the so called "Chinese Medicine" (Zhong Yi).
I, for one, will never trust any doctors who believe in "Chinese Medicine". In fact, it's a dis-service of the Chinese people by the Chinese Government, to not make "Chinese Medicine" illegal.
As long as "Chinese Medicine" is still legal, China is not a country with modern medicare.
chinese traditional medicines (zhong yi) was based on experience and imagination. After thousands of years, it's still based on experience and some ancient books like (Ben Cao Gang Mu). This is pathetic. That's why people usually use Zhong Yi as their last resort - better than giving up.
As long as there is no scientific experiments involved, Zhong Yi will never really take off.

Cancer treatment and survical rate is my favorite topic, and I agree in general early detection is important (there is dispute about is, I will write another post if there is some not-too-stupid responds to the following).
American researchers has been puzzled by the Canadian experience with colon-rectal cancer:
*. We all know it takes a long waiting time to see a colon specialist in Canada (say 6 weeks, I don't know the exact number).
*. Yet, the medium survival time of colon cancer patients, is higher in Canada than US !
Why is that ? Why late detection results in better survival ?
Some researchers give the following explainition (I am not necessarly agree): See there is 2 patients, one Canadian and one American. All the numbers are just for illustration.
The Canadian: wait for 6 weeks, then get treatment.
The American: wait is only 3 weeks (yes there are also serious waiting problem in US), but with a charge of $20 for the patient. And just for $20, many patients will delay 5 weeks voluntarily to see a doctor, until they are really uncomfortable ! Result: 8 weeks before the treatment !
