Longnshort, that can't be right. The WHO rankings place Canada seven places above America. Surely their health care system is in MUCH better shape than ours, LOL ... Tenchusatsu

Castonguay concluded that the system is in "crisis." Just beautiful. This is what these liberal idiots have been holding up as a model for American health care.

Castonguay advocates contracting out services to the private sector, going so far as suggesting that public hospitals rent space during off-hours to entrepreneurial doctors. He supports co-pays for patients who want to see physicians. Castonguay, the man who championed public health insurance in Canada, now urges for the legalization of private health insurance. Where is this genius JF who wants a system modeled after the Canadian system, who has pointed to government run health care as the solution to all our problems, the panacea? The creator of the Canadian system makes it clear -- it is an abject failure. He now wants to privatize. The system that was so much better. Hilarious.
