Yes and the article posted by Subman makes a number of references to the state of the Canadian system in reply to Moore's own references to Canada's system. |
Don't question me on the Canadian health system as compared to the American health system. I'm tied between the two (my in-laws are Canadian - and I have an uncle that would tell you a thin or two that needs hip replacement - basically, he is going to have to pay for it out of pocket!). My wife as well as my sister in law had the exact same procedure, and I can tell you that it is night and day between the treatment of the two. I am actually ticked at the Canadian health care system, their paint peeling off the walls, and I can tell you that even though their people are great, they are severly under-funded! My mother-in-law recently died (about a month now) of cancer, and I absolutely love the nurses, and at least one of her non-French doctors. But they do not have even a fraction of the capability that they have over here, or the hand and foot treatment my wife recently got! Her sister got none of this treatment - no funding. Period.
The Canadian system is a joke compared to the US. Do not even get me started.
