...with America's system? As Americans favoring universal health care, we are often challenged to "ask Canadians" how they feel about their health care system. What better place than here?

When the sole wage earner in this Canadian household went down with cancer, the last thing we ever thought of was the cost. (That particular bout cost around $500 000 Canadian.) We would have had no insurance as the wage earner's company had dropped all benefits due to economic problems. I would not be writing this as we would be destitute.My main concern is that dentistry for children is not covered. If a country as small as Cuba can afford it, we should be able to as well.The beginning of universal healthcare was a decision to insure everyone through the taxation system. There isn't a "deluxe" option as in the States but our family member was treated promptly, kindly and effectively throughout and dealing with medical matters is not a concern for the future.I have lived in several countries with universal healthcare and we have never considered a country without such a simple provision for their citizens.

I have close family living in the US and i would not want to deal with their system after what they have told me. I have lost both my father and my cousin (who resided in the us) to cancer and the differences between their treatment is unbeleivable. I would take our system over theirs anyday of the week. Every method has issues, i prefer our issues over the amercian ones.
