Assunto: Re: "free health care is a meaningless point"
Artful Dodger: Yes, our NHS has problems, but it is more efficient and costs less per person then your current system of private insurance unfettered does. It also rates more highly (18th place) then the USA's 37th place.
And you fail to mention that many Americans are trying to get Canadian medical care and are making sometimes false declarations to get it. Maybe if the 500,000+ American uses in a year of the Canadian system (In Ontario alone) stopped then Canadians would get better and quicker treatment... But they are still ranked 30th.. still better then the USA.
... And the one thing about the NHS... Public pressure gets results. In certain areas where the NHS has fallen in quality, the people of the UK have spoken and the government has acted on their behalf to get the problem fixed. It's not a case of lobbyists lining politicians pockets like in the USA and Health insurance companies ripping people off and playing with their health.
