Thanks for the chuckle LadyBones! I guess I did get what I paid for!
Seriously though, I would mention that as an American expatriate I have learned that although the States pays around 15 percent and climbing of its GDP on healthcare, a vast minority are poorly insured or have no insurance to speak of. In Canada, there may be fewer specialists, longer wait times, and less access to high-technology, but the country spends significantly less on its system (~10 percent GDP) yet EVERYBODY is covered EQUALLY. Or maybe I've just been sucking up too much loony propaganda?
