12. What does universal health care have to do with eugenics?
WE have universal health care here in Canada. And so do ALL of the other industrialized countries.

But NONE of us practice eugenics. Most liberal democracies are repulsed by eugenics.

If anything, the private insurance companies are the ones who are closest to practising a sort of "economic eugenics" by denying the poor and the sick treatment.
