but in the meantime how can you state that medical mistakes are irrelevant to a healthcare system and then try and boast about things like shorter wait times.....?

I didn't say anything remotely like "medical mistakes are irrelevant to a healthcare system". I said "I don't thin the rates of such mistakes vary significantly between the US and Canada", which is a very different statement.

As for shorter wait times, that's a simple fact. Even the WHO study (which seems designed to lower the US's score relative to nations with a larger government role) rates us number one in responsiveness.

how can a reasonable person make such a statement?

Because its a very reasonable statement. If you reduce the number of guns you are more likely to disarm the law abiding than the criminals.

Prove it.

You prove the opposite.

"Obesity rates have almost nothing to do with the structure of the health insurance system."

Consider the manifestations of obesity and try answering that question again.

OK. After consideration the new answer is - Obesity rates have almost nothing to do with the structure of the health insurance system.

If you are living in an obese society and obesity is the norm, your health is definitely affected..let's not be silly about this. And that will affect the insurance system.

The question is not "do obesity rates affect the insurance system". The question is does the insurance system affect obesity rates. If the insurance system does not significantly effect obesity rates than it can not be blamed for our higher obesity.
