A friend of mine from Canada tells me that their medical care is FREE.... I guess she never considered the HIGH taxes that pay for it.

It's true. All the outdated technologies used are free, the new ones are free and available only when the probability of a grave diognisis are extremely good so that not much post medical care is needed. It's a money saving thing. And it works like a charm. Oh and incidently, we Canucks define "free" as paying $100 a month in premiums, on TOP of high taxes.
It is also true that Antonio Meucci invented the telephone.
