Don’t look for me to defend Canada’s system. I’m not sure that I’d care to substitute the US way of doing things, however Canada is the only democratic, capitalist(ic) country in the world with such a single-payer system. I don’t know why people in this country trust the governemnt, and only the government, to do a good job of completely running such a complicated system when it does such a poor job of most other things. Years of Liberal brainwashing, I guess.
