I've said it before and I will say it again, yes there are things that can be fixed in the Canadian healthcare system. But in saying that, I also think that there are very few bureaucratic systems that are perfect.
I have used the system enough to know that it works when you need it.
We may pay more than is neccesary for the system but in the end, everyone is covered. You see, most here don't mind paying a little more in taxes to ensure that everyone is cared for.
Personally I find the greed that is at the basis of the US system quite galling. Fuck the poor. If they can't afford to pay for health insurance, let them die.
The US healthcare system *is* the best in the world if you can afford it. Most can't
As the US sinks further and further into debt, we keep paying off our debt, posting surpluses and running a deficit free budget (this despite having Universal healthcare and a generous social safety net). In the end, what really galls US republicans is that year after year, our little "socialist experiment" continues to succeed.
