Tim, if you are a citizen of Canada , ya have a photo ID health card in yer wallet. Ya present the health card and ya get treated...simple eh,.. all citizens and yup the system, once again, is not perfect..yada yada waiting times yada yada. <<..with no threat of bankruptcy if calamity strikes, no worries about being denied coverage,no worries about people weaseling out and riding on the backs of others because all contribute...no negotiating costs with doctors and hospitals, showing tax returns ass kissing and it is all done at approximately half the cost of American system.>> once again, for good measure! That is a fine article you posted and i quote from it.. <<The larger lesson here is that health care isn't immune from the laws of economics. >> Now look here at that fine American institution GM. kelsoinstitute.org <<For example, GM’s current market capitalization is about $12 billion. Its unfunded health care liability, however, is $50 billion-more than four times the market value of the entire company.>> No Tim, our system is not breaking down, but is being tested by the law,as it should , in order to evolve to make it better.
