My post to you was also aimed at some of the other posters that seem to think a virus cares who,and where it infects someone. I don't know what type of State or Federal health officers there are in the US but in Ontario the hospitals were closed by the two Doctors mentioned in this article. Wouldn't matter how the hospital was funded.

Snowyman,

You still don't seem to be getting my point. I'm sure the doctors were doing what was reasonable and prudent given the grave circumstances.

My point is not who or what funds the hospital, my point is that there would be more hospitals available for people to go to if the Canadian and provincial governments would let the free market do its work. Supply and demand.

What makes you think there aren't enough hospitals? Doesn't matter how many there are or would be. They'd be closed.

You seem to be the one missing the point. You've as much as already admitted that this is a result of SARS, not socialized medicine, so really this is just an opportunity for you to enjoy one of your favorite pasttimes, Canada bashing, on the backs of those infected and killed by SARS. Real nice.
