You must be talking to different Canadians than me.  The ones I know *hate*
the Canadian system.  It takes as long as a *year* or more to get medical
treatment scheduled, unless you do as they do and go to the US to get
treatment.  Since the Canadian system doesn't pay for seeing a doctor in the
US, they end up paying for useless Canadian health insurance and for US
medical attention.

Canada's system works on the principle of ``do nothing until the patient is
near death.''  I guess it saves money that way.
