KMAN, I suggested to rick that we take this debate to another
level as
he alluded to being interested in discussions beyond Canada
versus USA
comparisons. However, when I asked him for examples of what he
deemed
to be better systems, he reverted to an adversarial stance. I
have to
conclude that he actually knows nothing at all about
healthcare.

What was your first clue? His quick descent into name-calling,
or inability
to provide sources to back any of his ridiculous claims?
====================
LOL What a hoot!!! I have provided proof.

Please point me to the post in which you provided proof that Canadians are
dying while in wait lines for care. If you can do so, I will gladly
apologize.

You, on the other
hand, rely on chest-thumping, 'mines better than yours' mentality
even when i never claimed a system better. that you refuse to
see the flaws pointed out by your own sources proves your
ideology has far more control than your brain.

Could be, but that does nothing to change the fact that an allegation was
made and it cannot be substantiated.

Since you asked, there are obviously pros and cons to each system, many of
which I have readily acknowledged you've chosen not to pay attention,
perhaps because you have managed to humiliate yourself so thoroughly.

I would welcome a healthcare discussion. For example, I'd
really
welcome input from anyone who knows something about Finland.
Over the
last 4-5 years I've marvelled as Finland scores high on a
variety of
international comparisons -- health, education, quality of
life,
economy. I'd love to know how they're doing it.

I doubt, however, that rick can be of much help in that
regard.
===========================
I know that you we not be of any help, since you have decided to
stick your head in the sand and pretend that all is fine.

Have you ever asked me what problems there are with Canadian health care?
I've actually mentioned some, but you haven't been paying attention.

I got invovled in this thread because there was a ridiculous and utterly
false allegation made that Canadians were dying in wait lines for health
care. It isn't true. If you'd care to simply acknoweldge that there is no
evidence to support that allegation, perhaps we can move on and actually
talk about the merits and problems of different health care systems.

I'd love to hear from someone who lives or has lived there!
