I'm sure ustwo you would agree that American is a better country than Canada (most Americans would). So, I find it odd that you'd attribute Canada's seemingly failing medical system on the system, not on the intrinisic weakness of being Canadian (read, not American).
Said another way, I think that the strengths of America's current health care system is a result of it being American, not being private. I think that a public health care system would be just as good as the current private system is, only available to more people.
That said, I'm torn on tort reform, because I'm appalled by the actions of corporations and the way their money controls our government, but am also appalled by the corporations and private businesses who hire lawyers to sue doctors for so much money.
I fear that we're headed towards either 1984's The Party or Resident Evil's the Umbrella Corporation. Both seem equally horrible to me, but at least if heading towards the former, we have more ability to stop it from happening as long as we still have the constitution and a semi-uncorrupt court system.
