We'll use your answers about your own situation to compare with the answers from a Canadian. Maybe comparing the terms and coverage of an insured American with those of every Canadian, will help us sort out what 40 million uninsured Americans and all Canadians are missing out on,
in the world of private medical insurance coverage of the Americans who are fortunate enough to "enjoy" it.

I don't understand what you want. The general consensus is that the Canadian Healthcare system is better than what we have in the US. Many people here would like to adopt the Canadian plan. I want to understand it. I am not very interested in comparing it to a broken system in the US, that seems pointless.
My gut tells me that we would be better to move in the direction of requiring every able American to "purchase" healthcare. I think it is a joke that we make sure that virtually every automobile and every building is insured but not every human life. Think about it some more and you find that in most states a guy who rides a motorcyle is force to wear a helmet, because of 'costs to society if he gets hurt', but he doesn't have to have health insurance using the same logic.
