Bull**** again. You don't know anything do you? The feds contribute
a _small_ portion of health care funding. Most of the funding is from
provincial governments.

the Health Care Act mandates certain
things that obligate the provinces to provide health care plans,

Which the provinces could opt out of - though that's unlikely,
since the plan is what the vast majority of Canadians support.

the feds set the standards for the provincial plans.

Minimal standards. The provinces are responsible for health
care.

You still haven't offered any info on how they could opt out,
but then we know you can't. You claim to have investigated
the Canadian health care system, but we know you lied about
that.
