Let me see how the US system works. I have a serious medical condition but my particular health insurance provider does not agree with the diagnosis and hence does not honour my claim. Result? Increased profits at the expense of my good health! Not true you say? Well, neither are your observations about Canadian medicare. But I will give you a fact: all +30M Canadians can walk into any emergency room, at anytime, anywhere in Canada and get to see a doctor regardless of how serious their condition is. Yes, our taxes pay for this burden but I don't have a problem with that. Neither do the citizens of most western European countries and their free health care. Sorry for going off topic.
