It doesn't work nearly as well if you compare survival rates for serious illnesses.

- larrywright 17y agoAgreed. People who rave about government--provided healthcare seem to be mostly talking about routine care: colds, broken bones, pregnancy. My aunt is an oncology nurse. She has told me that she sees a lot of patients from Canada seeking treatment in the US that they can't get in Canada under their healthcare system. Of course, it's only those who have money who can afford to do this, if you're not rich you're just out of luck.
