Re: Ruling Could Transform Canada's Health System

[paul phillips <phillipsp@xxxxxxx>]

In fact, Canadian taxes are not materially higher than US taxes and we
pay a lot less (as a per cent of GDP and in real dollars) than do
Americans for health care despite the fact that coverage is universal,
if somewhat slow for certain procedures in certain provinces, joint
replacement being the biggest problem.
