healthcare in Canada vs US

I was very impressed during my many visits north of the border to find the number of neighborhood doctors offices exceeded only by doughnut shops. There is a wealth of misinformation being touted here in the US related to the Canadian (or any other for that matter) health care system. It's common knowledge here that to get an operation you must come to the US and that waiting lines in Canada stretch from coast to coast.

I'm gald you mentioned that failed attempt as I think it is without a doubt one of the Great Tragedies and really evil actions of recent US history.During the Clinton Health Care reform we had the first serious chance to really improve the US Health Care System since about the same plan was proposed by President Nixon.IMHO in both cases, the plan was defeated for purely political reasons, a party that did something like that for the American people would be so appreciated by the average voter that it's unlikely they would lose popularity or an election for fifty years.Newt Gingrich clearly saw that threat to the Republican Party and orchestrated what may have been the most successful propaganda effort in modern times to doom the Clinton Plan.But the struggle had NOTHING to do with Health Care. It had EVERYTHING to do with politics and raping the consumer.
