Hmm, perhaps, saying most was hyperbole. However, from what I have (in health care)compared to what my middle class Canadian friends have, I won't be. Granted I pay a lot more. I have been meaning to do a cost analysis based on taxes, but I'm exceptionally lazy and non-motivated. Besides I guess I'm selfish, and I like my health care, and like approx 87% of Americans I'm satisfied with it, not necessarily completely happy mind you, but satisfied ;)

Basically you guys pay about double per capita for a system that doesn't even cover 100% of the population. Or in short you have the most inefficient system in the western world.

Oh and most common cause of bankruptcy, medical bills.

Yeah I can see why you all like your current system.

Ah, a probable Canuck.....

Wrong I personally pay way more, but not so much in taxes (you have no idea what my miniscule tax rate) Like I said I'm selfish and my HMO coverage is unbelievably good, but then the cost is unbelievably high.......

Sorry, going to an ice cream sociable now, and will be home late :D

Interesting you presume Canada, considering that I could be from pretty much any major industrial nation, except the US.
