To Lazeelink who 14 hours ago commented with the same post on a different story..."I am forever baffled by the insistence of those who don't have a clear understanding of the nuances of privatized health insurance have so much to say based on limited subject knowledge."

Let me take this opportunity to thank you and your fellow Americans for footing your own healthcare to a much larger degree than we as individual Canadians do, which affords us the opportunity to enjoy your spectacularly lower prices not burdened by employee benefits.  Allow me also to apologize for the lazy cross border shopping Canadians you are forever deriding on these comment columns, for littering your shopping mall parking lots.

That being said there are two things I hope we as Canadians never relinquish nor find ourselves apologizing for...our universal health care system and most of all, the freedom most places to pump our gas and then go inside to pay...for not in your God, but "In Each Other We Trust" :)
