I hav a friend from college , met him in 1987 known him for years now, US citizen, who is now a prof in Philo at a canadian univ in ontario. we talk about this all the time. The canadian health care system is a disaster, its amazing that it has survived this long. I think its deficiencies have been masked by canadians access to the US more market driven system, but as the US system collpased into socialism , the problems wth canada will be more exposed , hopefully people will demand an opening up , a liberalization in the old classic sense to more free market medical care
