Covering your ass, are you James? Let's agree that the Canadian metropolises (esp. Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver) all have hot women.
There.
Now, as for nationalized healthcare in Canada. The main services are covered by the government. If I go to the doctor with a broken arm, he/she will swipe my medicare card through the little machine, fix me up, and send me on my way. Simple as that. However, some services, such as blood tests, are offered by private clinics. You could just go to a hospital or public clinic to get checked out, but results would take longer to come through this method than by popping into a pay clinic. I got blood tests results within 4 days that way, instead of having to dick around for 2-3 weeks.
Basically, as was said before, it's semi-privatized, although us Canadians can always depend on basic service at all times.
