I constantly hear people scream 'socialized' and rant and rave about taxes, but I can tell you quite easily that I would take the Canadian system over the US any day. There are all sorts of scare tactics that abound about the Canadian system - most often that you don't have a choice of doctors, long waits and so on. Well - I had the same family doctor for 20 years - my choice and the waits that I had for my own elective surgeries were not long at all. Not one person I know in Canada has had to sell their house or cash in their pension funds in order to have a surgery, but one of the biggest things is the security. You have the security of knowing that if you lose your job, you still get health care; if you move you still have health care; if you go back to school you still have health care. I can't wait for the film and I think in the not too distant future you will see California become the first to switch to a national health care fund. Can't wait! sammieswife.
