money must go to military spending and war to make the rich richer. This is propaganda. Since the coverage in Canada varies slightly by province, I don't think you are getting good information there. There are always attempts to besmirch the Canadian system in the media usually with misinformation planted by publicists for the insurance industry. I have found every one of the stories to be erroneous so if you could provide a source or a link as to where you got that information, it will be helpful in letting our Canadian DUers verify it or invalidate your claim. I will look at your link about Japan more thoroughly when I get the time, but from first glance, it looks like more astroturf to me. Unsubstantiated claims like the Japanese don't like their system are a clue. It probably will turn out to be an entirely different situation.

Again single payer universal health care is not free. Everyone pays into like you do your insurance according to their means. You see the doctors you want and instead of hundreds of insurance company and HMO plans as well as government forms to process for claims there is one claim to one payer, the government. You really have bought into the insurance company propaganda or you are part of it. Time and more posts from you will tell.
