As a Canadian, I believe Obama is better, mostly thanks to his foreign policy. But as a middle class American, Hillary does have the better healthcare platform, and if I was American, it would be a very tough call.
The American health care system is broken to the point of total collapse if we continue down the road we're currently on. The only reason some wait times are lower in America is because millions of people are denied coverage for basic needs.
There is a big misunderstanding about wait times in Canada vs the United States. US residents still deal with wait lists, such as the 4 months you wait after your HMO/PPO/whatever plan goes through the approval process for a given elective surgery, or possibly longer. If doctors don't receive payment on initial services, sometimes they refuse to followup care if its not what they consider life threatening.
Its very easy to claim a shorter wait list when you have millions of residents that, instead of being put in a line, are just denied care altogether. Sanjay Gupta keeps posting conservative think tank claims on his health care specials that run on CNN, claiming that only 4% of Americans are put on a wait list of 6 months or longer whereas 14% of Canadians are. I have seen studies that suggest something very different. As much as 30% of the American public is turned away from necessary care altogether, and I don't have the link right now. When you need a hip replacement, don't have sufficient insurance, or no insurance at all, and you are turned away/totally denied care its far worse than being put on a 3 or 6 month wait list.
Its a travesty, and that's why mortality rates are much higher across the board in the United States.

A sample of mortality rates, rates of death per 100,000 people.
HIV
Canada - 1.2
USA - 4.7
(yes, your eyes aren't kidding you, the rate of HIV mortality is over 400% higher in America due to a total lack of preventative care and anti-retroviral affordability among the poor, yet infection rates per capita are similar between the two nations) This is a national disgrace considering our nation has spent billions in giving AIDS drugs to Africa, yet won't provide universal care for its own people.
Malignant Neoplasms/Cancer - All Categories
Canada - 173.7
USA - 189.8
yes, Canada has a lower mortality rate for all cancers.
Diabetes
Canada - 19.6
USA - 25.1
America has a higher rate of death among Diabetes, a disease where preventative care and access to affordable medications is crucial for survival.
Ischaemic heart diseases
Canada - 96.2 (and if you look at the chart, a huge investment in this area has reduced these rates dramatically in Canada)
USA - 161.2
Okay, so you're damn near twice as likely to die of heart disease in America due to lack of access to preventative care and consistent doctor care that is affordable.
Heart Attack
Canada - 27.7
US - 57.4
Tell me why you are nearly twice as likely to die after a heart attack in the USA? Is US care really superior?
Moral of the story: be very careful what right wing think tanks say about US care. Its not the greatest in the world.
