Exacerbating Canada's poor performance among industrialized countries is its
proximity to the US, notes Princeton University health economist Uwe Reinhardt.

Leave it to some tenured pinhead at an Ivy League school to inform us as to why
Canada can't prop up their healthcare system.
It's all the fault of those EEEVVVIIILLL Americans!

Actually this must be true. We prevented the USSR from giving Communism a fair test.
It's all our fault.
I feel so ashamed, NOT!

Actually a system like Canada's sounds wonderful on paper.
But humans are greedy little buggers. Offer them subsidized healthcare and they
overload the system; doctors and dentists will even switch citizenship for more bucks.

About the only way the system can work in the real world is just to tell the
patients to not get as sick as often as they do...and chain the M.D.s to their
clinics before they have a chance to claim financial asylum in the USA.

Well, they could also abort more fetuses and euthanise useless old people (say those over 50) so they have less people that can get sick. That would be fair!!!
