It appears that you are restricting your favorable evaluation of the
Canadian system to "normal" kinds of health anomalies (what I referred
to in another post as a "one-size-fits-all" system.  My comments were in
the context of serious life-threatening diseases like Ewings
Sarcoma/PNET - which my daughter is a survivor of - and yes I do know
what Im talking about in that context based on what I observed and
participated in in discussions on an internet forum specifically for
parents of children with that disease.  I watched kids die specifically
due to the problems with the Canadian health care system and had the
U.S. system cases to compare it to.
