As I see it, our system works pretty good most of the time but could be
much better if the federal gov't paid their fair share. Small, poorer
provinces with aging populations , like Nova Scotia, struggle with the
financial burden.


It's cheaper too. US health care cost amount to over 15% GDP. Canada's
are less than 10% GDP.



A huge percentage of that 15% is comprised of the horrific price gouging
by drug companies and the equally horrific charges imposed by for-profit
hospitals.
