>I'm from Canada and people fight with the gov't all the time over the coverage of medical care and drugs. I'm from Canada too, and yeah, the system isn't perfect. Generally conditions which require a more intensive and personalized long-term care (read: expensive) are lacking. Drugs may be expensive. Dental isn't covered. But let me tell you, you need to see your family GP? You'll see them without worry. Your GP refers you to a specialist for tests? No charge. Your specialist orders more tests because of a finding? No charge. Surgery? No charge. You're hospitalized for a few weeks? You'll never get a $70,000 bill. There is a certain freedom in being able to go through all that, even when unemployed, and never think about whether you'll have to re-mortgage your house.
