We know the healthcare system in the US is screwed up.

Questions about Canada's healthcare:

Is everyone treated equal in your system? Is a convicted felon on the same footing as 12 year old child? If they both need a kidney who gets it first? Who decides those kinds of questions? Who decides when the cost of keeping a person alive on life support is greater than the benefit?

Is preventative healthcare important? What kind of treatment could a drug addict get to break the habit? Alcoholic? Over-eater? How do you decide that somthing is "necessary" vs "elective"? Can I get state of the art contacts, laser eye surgery, or do I have to get lod fashion glasses?

Do you like "big brother" making these decisions?
