U.S. Hospitals - too expensive?

[Valmy]

I guess all those Canadians and brits are not gonna come over anymore for service.

I don't think cost was an issue for that crew.

We really need an NHS. It's too late for anything else; Just nationalize everything.

You don't have to nationalize "everything".  The Canadian model, for example, still has privately run hospitals and clinics.  It's just that there is only one insurer - the national government.

*cough* provincial government *cough*   unless it is like that outside Québec.

Without going into too much detail, the insurer is the provincial government, which receives funding (and guidelines) from the national government.

Separatists like to ignore that little fact....

I'm still stunned that Jake just had a baby.

[katmai]

Well to be fair, it was his wife having the baby.
