I love how people who don't live in a universal healthcare system talk about how bad things are for those of us who do...

The overall "quality" ie, prestige of care is higher in the US (the more money you have, the better access and outcomes you have)... however, if you look at the overall health outcomes of universal systems, they are higher than the US. Why? because access is guaranteed and people generally have the assurance that if they're sick, they don't have to worry about not being able to pay for their treatment. The more people have access to quality care, the better the outcomes will be.

I'm extremely happy to live with the system I do.

Could some of our Canadians talk about the National Health Insurance model?

Australia uses the NHI model...
