Universal Health Care is a right.

I don't know why you want to keep insisting on letting homeless children die of terminal diseases just to keep your stupid health insurance systems up and running. Canada has an awesome single payer system that helps its people out to a wonderful degree so all this "iT dOeSn'T wOrK" is pure BS. Social democracy is the way.

Canadian healthcare works, in part, because it limits demand. The US system works, in part, because the majority can obtain the care of their choice at the snap of a finger.

Life expectancy in Canada probably exceeds that of the US because Canada has a more managed population. Life expectancy in the US is lower, probably because the US has an unmanaged population.

There is probably merit for all 4 of the above premises. Why we can't all learn from one another is because the political interest tries to achieve its way by making the alternatives illegal.

@Heartlander I agree with you completely. And the first thing to sort out is where in the priorities a human life sits. Just because it is human. Not because it is rich. or white, or famous, or prays to the right God.
