It's far from free, and many people with serious illnesses come to America because they can't recieve treatment quick enough in Canada. Imagine healthcare run by the government. Going to a hospital would be like going to the DMV. Okay, it wouldn't be that bad, but it's still not so great. |
I don't need to imagine that, I live here. Our healthcare system may not be perfect but I hold it as one of my greatest honours of being Canadian as it represents one of the (political) beliefs I hold dearest to my heart - A government has the responsibility to protect its citizens. Protection is usually only perceive in to the form of Police and National Security, but surely ensuring all of your citizens have adequate access to health care is protecting them, wouldn't you agree?
Anyhow, this is the gaming forum. So, on topic... We pretty much kick ass.
