While I realize that our health care system needs alot of work to fix all in it that is broken, you would find many in other countries that would feel fortunate to have our level of health care. I have tons of relatives that live all through Canada, I go there every year and my mom lives about two miles from the border. My Canadian relatives will tell you that they laugh every time they hear someone say how Canada has "free" health care. Are any of you aware of the tax rates in Canada? Last time I was in Prince Edward Island the tax rate was over 16% on everything I bought. Some territories, like Quebec and Ontario, charge an Employer Health Tax and require prescription insurance. And some of the nightmares we hear of here in the US you can hear about in Canada, most of them concerning horrific wait times for treatment.
With that said, I'm not putting down Canada's health care in any way, shape or form. Simply trying to say that while our system here in the US isn't perfect, it's not perfect anywhere else either.
From what I'm hearing, the Moore movie misrepresents more than a few issues here in the US.
