Alan,

If you are talking about the US vs Canada, you will give your bills to more Hispanics and Whites in the US.

And about the same number of other ethnic groups in the US and Canada, with some deviation from the mean, very, very roughly speaking.

That is distribution, not diversity.

The only significant difference in diversity/homogeneousness in the US and Canadian numbers I can see is that the Hispanic population is more represented in the US. So we are approaching two dominant minorities in the US Hispanic and White. While Canada still has a dominant majority of white.

But I think we agree on the impact to the argument of socialized medicine. Unless someone can produce numbers that show it's minorities are not served equally (within reason) by the Canadian system, I would argue that Canada is a model a single payer system that could support the US diversity.
