Take a look into low birth weight babies born in Canada vs the
US. Being born low weight to a Canadian family is a greater
risk that being born to a African-American family in the US.
Where does that fit in with your ill-concieved ideas that the
'poor' in the US suffer, while no-one in Canada does?

Take a look at the amount of teenage pregnancies, the amount of
children dying at birth, the state of health of the entire
population, and you'll find that despite the huge medical cost
to society, it's not up to par with most western countries with
older populations that spend a lot less on medicine.
========================
Nice little strawman you're trying to build there. Too bad that
wasn't the discussion. He made the cooment about 'poor'
people not getting proper care in the US. I mentioned one area
where the percieved ideas he has is false. If the post wasn't
snipped to shreds without annotation, and then replied to as you
want it to be read, make a new post.





Just repeating the "we don't have waiting lists" mantra doesn't
prevent people from dying out on the street, or from going
bancrupt because they can't pay all the high medical bills they
were given because they couldn't afford health care insurance.
=====================
Again, no where have you seen me say that, have you? Again, too
bad all you can do is build these little strawmen by snipping out
whole posts and then replying to things I haven't said.
