Canada's national health care system that is. In the NY Times:
Accepting money from patients for operations they would otherwise receive free of charge in a public hospital is technically prohibited in this country, even in cases where patients would wait months or even years before receiving treatment
That bit of information, that it is illegal to provide healthcare outside the system, startled me. Even more startling;
Private clinics are opening around the country by an estimated one a week, and private insurance companies are about to find a gold mine.
So now, Canada's healthcare will truly embody what so many say is wrong with the US system, that only those who can afford it (not true here) recieve care, and further prove that a completely government run and operated system fails.
