Well, given that Canada has a lower infant mortality rate, and a longer life expectancy rate than that of the USA, we must be doing something right. Irrespective of Tom Green's nuts.
Here's the link to the CIA website for the USA.....

USA Infant mortality rate:
total: 6.75 deaths/1,000 live births

USA Life expectancy at birth:

Here's the link to the CIA website for Canada.....

Canadian Life expectancy at birth:

I maintain, you would be hard pressed to find too many Canadians who would give up their universal health care. No-one trusts companies to do right by their employees (myself included). It's not the way. I do actually trust the government as strange as that might sound.
