I'm the first to say that the Canadian system has its flaws... though each province does things differently. BUT I WOULD NEVER trade it for private enterprise! I do need private coverage for dental care, prescription medication and physiotherapy. THANK GOD those things are regulated for cost and quality!!!!

Listen, I know a bunch of Iranians.... really backwards country, right?... on the axis of Evil, right?? where they have a state-regulated system of private insurance... BUT proper and full health care is still GUARANTEED regardless of what anyone can afford. They apparently do use a class system, but if a service is not available in a hospital for a lower class, they are rushed to a higher class hospital with no delays, no question, no bureaucracy and CERTAINLY NO question about ability to pay!

Why is the U.S.A., supposedly "the greatest democracy in the world" (*) is the only country that makes its citizens chose between a life-saving operation and the ability to feed their children?

My prayers are with you Americans: you very fine people on the BBoard have shown me that you deserve far, far better!

(*) Those were the exact words of the ambassador to Canada on July 1st 1992 while addressing diplomats from all over the planet! I know, I was there playing music with the Band of the Ceremonial Guard for the Independence-Day celebration at the ambassador's residence!
