Excellent post

I suppose this supports what I was saying about making your life better.
CAN vs USA
Life Expectancy 80.7 vs 78.1
Infant mortality 5.0 vs 6.7
Physicians per 1000 people 2.2 vs 2.4
Nurses per 1000 people 9.0 vs 10.6
Per capita expenditure $3895 vs $7290
health care as % GDP 10.1 vs 16.0

So in Canada, overall, you are likely to live longer and your kids are less likely to die...and at close to half the price. Sounds like a win-win. And Americans keep wondering why we think its a good idea?
