If it was that bad you have to believe governments would rise and fall over the health care issue.
Kid, the fact is that there is no Canadian politician anywhere in the country who could possibly be elected advocating a US-style healthcare system.

People always like to rant and rail about how terrible government is: incompotent, inefficient, serving only the self-interest of politicians, etc.. This is no different in Canada, but although everyone here has an opinion about how our healthcare ought to be improved, nobody wants to turf it for a fully private system.
