<<I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one>> OK. << think it was Lane who asked you a few posts back, What is a Canadian to do if he doesn't like the system? Go to Buffalo?>> I answered.. """LOL again, that is the point...in Canada for health care, we can not opt out, and no office to bill us anyway...not like US. We do not have to accept pensions that we have been forced to pay into, we do not have to apply when eligible ...but for health care, there is no choice and in our system a good thing too ...because why should a person choose to ride for free while everyone else has to pick up the tab for emergency services and infrastructure when that dud has a heart attack. The vast majority in Canada are not on soap boxes against the ism...""" <<<<<Must admit that most Canadians I know seem to be sort of happy with their healthcare system. But then again, most Canadians I know are sort of relatively young and healthy.... :)>> Skin,your comment is generally true for older Canadians too.A lot of surveys verify this...generally.There are many problems also, but personally have not run into any and i have had a number of problems the last few years. It is simple, we can not have a hospital on every block , nor doctor on every street...so, taught by the British, we get in line ...there is no way around it...for your 300 million also if all are covered.
