I never suggested a socialized health care system where basic care is provided to all for free. I suggested that in a free-market health care system there will inevitably be a small number of people who slip through the cracks and have no access to care, and that the rest of us - in our own interest, not out of charity - ought to see to it that some form of basic care is provided for them.

While I actually agree with the main thrust of your post, here is a chart with the infant mortality rate in 1995 - Canada 6.1, United States 7.6 (a huge difference in statistical terms). The united states is dead last on this chart of industrialized nations in infant mortality rates, almost double Finland, Sweden and Japan. And I'll just bet that if there were studies available ranking infant general health, things like nutrition, immunization etc. the US would be dead last but further behind the pack in those things as well. I can't see any excuse for this. hc-sc.gc.ca
