Oh Canada
Unlike in the United States, health care has been a major topic in Canada's political campaigns.
The Globe and Mail has a commentary piece with the wonderful title "Health Care Experts? Ask The Sick". It's definitely worth a read. Here's an excerpt:
"The Canadian health-care system is not great. It's not even very good. Mostly, it is mediocre, but the saving grace for many people, Liberals included, is that it is usually equally mediocre for almost everyone."
This was in response to:
"As Mr. Martin cried aloud the other day, incomprehensibly if passionately, "I love the United States, but I love far greater that we are different! I love that we are independent! I love that we are Canada -- and we're going to stay that way!" Yes, indeed: We are great; we are not Americans; we have the best health-care system in the world, and no one, least of all some big-headed Conservative boy with the initials S.H. is going to take that from us, hear?"
The writer then goes on to discuss how she has seen the quality of health care decline under Canada's system.
