No I think your plugging 1 into the equation is insignificant. Call me crazy, but when I discuss the diversity of populations, I prefer to use the actual numbers. This discussion started because Canada's lack of diversity in comparison to the US was touted as a reason that it's socialized medical model would not work here. The numbers I produced showed that every US ethnic population was represented in significant numbers. Unless you can show that those populations have significantly different quality of health care in the monolithic Canadian health system, I don't see how Canada's diversity can be used as an argument against socialized medicine in the US. I do see how the fact that the US would have 10 times the pure volume could be an issue. But diversity? Not unless you can produce numbers that the health of Canada's ethnic health is significantly different than the majority's. As for getting it. I got it. I just rejected it. I don't care how much you attack my ability to comprehend subtlety -- not so subtly -- 1 is an insignificant hypothetical extreme. 'Cause it just ain't so. Dan D.
