I don't think Quebec is exactly the right example to use since they have their very "own" health care system. The rest of the Provinces are Provincially and Federally regulated but NOT Quebec. In any event, I that we in B.C. pay health care premiums. There are only two Provinces in Canada that pay premiums and B.C. is one of them. For David and I it is $100.00 a month. I don't mind at all and I am all for two tiering the system. A Private MRI clinic just got up and running this past summer here in Kelowna. It started in Alberta where they started allowing "privately owned" clinics to spring up thereby taking some of the pressure off of the "system". And why not? I trained as an RN at the Vancouver General Hospital. It WAS a good hospital. Of course in those days there was no such thing as "healthcare unions". That has been one of the major things to cause the system to go to ratcrap!!

Ya, that's our secret. Crush the twenty dollar an hour mop swingers (etc.) union. Crush the nurses and doctors union too, but pay them well anyways. That's our solution.

'merican system could work good too, just got to use those guns on the lawyers instead of on human beings more often. Could use the money saving in litiagation and litigation prevention to put in a second tier system for the poor (or topless spongebaths for the rich, not my country, it's their decision.)
