My agenda, to the extent I have one, is certainly not to defend the current system at all costs. I don't consider it an ideal system.

Your perception of posted anecdotes, is that they serve no purpose, unless you selectively post one that negatively portrays Canadian health care as stated before.

I never said that they never serve any purpose, my point was more that most of them are not very useful. "Most" does not equal "all", and "not very useful" might be similar to "serves little purpose", but doesn't mean "serves no purpose".

Before that it was "your doctors have no freedom but are puppets of the government."

I never said that, or anything similar to that, about either American or Canadian doctors.

Just because I don't like the Canadian system and don't want it for the US, doesn't mean I think the US system is perfect or the Canadian system is some sort of dystopian hell.

Canadian system needs constant work and tweeking.

What if you could use double the resources (money) per person, as the US does? I bet that "tweek" that would be something to see.
