Bingo! I feel the same way. When the american networks broadcast their doctor and lawyer commercials I feel that eerie sense of culture shock. It's just not something I see day to day, and then one night, when Global or CTV is not simulcasting a TV show, I get the American commercials.
I agree with you Wakelagger, as in my earlier post, I don't think that this sort of thing (health care) should be a 'for profit' business. It's one of the reasons that we have government, that is to manage the pooled resources of our society to get a living or live-able system in place.
