Right after the presidential election, I happened to be listening
to "Cross-Country Checkup" (a phone-in talk show) on CBC (Canadian
Broadcasting Corp.) Radio (690 on the AM dial or 6160 in the
shortwave 49m band).

Most of the Canadians who phoned in with their answer to "What do
you think the Clinton Administration should do?" had the implementation
of a Canadian-style health insurance system as one of their answers.
I doubt they would have said so if the Canadian system was even
half the disaster it has been portrayed as by some people in this
newsgroup.
