ralph,
In Canada we are not really taking care of our folks. The government be it Liberal or whoever listens the the same 'experts' on health care with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo... (David and I have already discussed this and don't agree on the best system for some basic reasons).

However our system will be lost if we do not get some accountability ... the wait time issue is getting worse. No two ways about it.

Our income taxes are not as bad as David indicates ... The federal rate is 29% max... he is likely looking at the combined figures since as you know only Quebec collects its own provincial tax.

HOWEVER that gun registry scam and the current EI scam could have paid for a lot of MRI's , n'est-ce pas ? We have no accountability... We can debate the merits of he American I can afford it and I want it now system or the Tommy Douglas universal approach... if ours delivered everyone would want it... but right now it doesn't... I'd prefer to fix it then turf it though... OTOH hand David also knows that the wait time for an American without 20K for an MRI is likely a bit longer than 1 year... a lot longer...

Ralph in principle ours is fair but it's lost its principles...
