More related to the lack or resources than the system itself . There was not really much prudent planning with regards to work-force labor shortages, thus this has created problems within the system.

It's not perfect by any means, but nonetheless it was provided this Canadian Citizen with adequate care throughout the years. Could it be applied to the US, I am not even going to go there, just the sheer size of the US as compared to Canada would cause some major headaches, both cost wise and also how it would be applied.

Well you know, it could be argued that the lack of resources is a direct result of the system, so I don't buy that. At least to hear my Uncle talk, he will set you straight on that one. Pay rate is also a direct result of the system and apparently that system doesn't attract any news recruits because of it.
