Its impossible to turn on the news without someone claiming that health-care in Canada is better and cheaper.  Oh really?

 This is a great first-hand article on Canadian health-care.  I recommend reading it but here are a few highlights.

• according to the World Health Organization Canadians, for the price they pay, now have the worst health care system in the world
• In British Columbia, all elective operating rooms shut down at 3 p.m.
• A patient will usually wait for nine to 12 months for a smaller procedure such as carpal tunnel surgery or a hernia repair, and 14 to 18 months for a major procedure such as a total joint replacement or cardiac valve replacement
• The government limits how many patients each doctor can see and bill for each day. If you exceed the government’s quota, you simply won’t get paid for the additional work.
