If you have the $$$ you have wonderful coverage in the US, no question... but not everyone has the $$$.

Both systems have their flaws. The thing is, if I need an operation, I don't have to mortgage my house.
True, there are too many Americans without health insurance. However, access and treatment to the system is there and hospitals do not turn people away on ability to pay.

I'm not just critictizing your system just because it's a failed socialist experiment. I'm a news junkie and I tend to read alot about this stuff, and it's absolutely breaks my heart to read stories of Canadian children waiting needlessly for life saving surgey.

Anyways, I think I've hijacked this thread enough. This is a great subject to discuss though.
