When you go into a private hospital you even get a wine list and the private insurance is affordable.
As for taxes, yup we do pay em and I do hate em. But it we do have a pretty fair distribution of the wealth. It doesn't take a lot of money to get into the top 5 per cent of earners in Canada.
As for trickle down.....it doesn't work. The money flees offshore.

Your observations and conclusions are simply wrong.
Phrases like "pretty fair distribution of the wealth" are fundamentally flawed, for the same reason the US healthcare system is flawed.
You cannot run a healthcare system on a "for profit" basis alone. Until that core is replaced, no one will get it straight.

But Socialism, your "pretty fair distribution of the wealth," doesn't work either.
It's unnatural. The entire planet is about "survival of the fittest," and it's ugly stepchild, "capitalism."
There is no "pure" solution.

And I watch parliment all the time.....and all I ever hear is complaints about their healthcare system.
