BlackAcre, I do not understand your post.

You state: "Americans with money have the greatest healthcare in history. But it is just not right."

Hello?

You realize, right, that over 80 percent of Americans have health insurance, right, and get treated at hospitals in spite of not being rich?

Look, I am not defending the mess in America with its insurance system, it is a mess, nor am I saying it is good enough to have more than ten percent of people uninsured. But you seem to be trying to pretend that you have to be wealthy in America to get good health care when you wipe out skiing on a mountain. And that is nonsense. I have dozens of relatives in the states, coast to coast, none of them above middle class, and all of them have received excellent health care over their lifetimes. Including the skiers.

Have you ever looked at the Kaiser Permanente health insurance system in California? For most people, it is really not that much different from the Canadian system that you praise.
