This thread is the one of the reasons I love this place, this is a very touchy and emotional issue to alot of people and I've read a lively and respectful discussion giving many different points of view. love it.
As for my view, well, as a canuck, when my wife gave birth last year, it was the first time (lucky) that i got to view our health care system up close and personal. No wait, just an amazing experience, private room for birthing, whirlpool tubs and all the wife-in-labour type devices. The only bill I had from the stay was the cost of the private room wife,baby and I stayed in after the delivery. And that was paid for by my work benefits. I think government can get to involved in our daily lives, but in situation like health care, I would rather have the government running it than private industry/for profit companies when it comes to my health or my families.
