- You must be talking to different Canadians than me. The ones I know *hate*
- the Canadian system. It takes as long as a *year* or more to get medical
- treatment scheduled, unless you do as they do and go to the US to get
- treatment. Since the Canadian system doesn't pay for seeing a doctor in the
- US, they end up paying for useless Canadian health insurance and for US
- medical attention.

- Canada's system works on the principle of ``do nothing until the patient is
- near death.'' I guess it saves money that way.
