You've have tried unsuccessfully once or twice to convince me of this folly. Nothing more. I'm sure Feelgood appreciates your deciphering of the words he didn't write. I know I do.

You can't and you don't. As if saying it enough will make it a reality.

You keep on keeping on, Charlatan, and if you believe that similarities in various healthcare statistics are because of the quality of our healthcare system, please do so. The professionals, the POLITICIANS, and most Canadians know differently. They are proud of the attempt and ashamed of the results. Recent political campaigns speak to this. Of course Canadians are not prone to air dirty laundry publically. Substandard is probably harsh and I will give you that. I think a more apt description would be lackluster, or mediocre. Also, agree that Canada provides lackluster or mediocre healthcare to everyone, just like the US. Of course in the US, just ike in Canada, those of means, success, and privledge take their serious healthcare needs elsewhere. This is the only thing universal about Canada's health care....well this and exorbinant taxes, and lackluster or mediocre services.

Finally, as far as being behind the times, perhaps. It is a FACT however, that within the last 12 months, the Supreme Court ruled invalid a Quebec provision FORBIDDING the purchase of private health insurance. I realize that it is possible that the Supreme Court ruled a law which didn't exist invalid, and also took up the issue which no one was interested in exploring its invalidation.
