the Fairest of Them All? From an Associated Press story on Canada's health-care system: The universal health-care system--while considered one of the fairest in the world--has been plagued by long waiting lists and a lack of doctors, nurses and new equipment. Some patients wait years for surgery, MRI machines are scarce and many Canadians travel to the United States for medical treatment. In most Canadian provinces, it is illegal to seek faster treatment and jump to the head of the line by paying out of pocket for public care. Private health clinics have sprouted up even though they are technically illegal, though the provincial governments tend to look the other way. Other than that, though, it's really fair! opinionjournal.com From The Best of The Web TOday By James Taranto Friday, June 10, 2005
