I assume you can provide statistics to back up this claim, and can also show that the portion of people who get their health care in the U.S. has even a statistically significant effect on the overall quality of out health care.

Yes, yes it is clear that the statistics for a country will be better if you have universal health care. That's so painfully clear it hurts. Since there are a great number of simple problems which can be solved by a simple application of medicine.

The point of _any_ economic system is to create the most good for the most people. If your system doesn't do this, then there is a problem. That should also be the point of a health care system.

US tort law insures that doctors takes the greatest pains possible for care.

Please outline the difference between U.S. and Canadian tort law that makes U.S. health care safer.

I sure can say it is better. I said it is better *IF* you can afford it, you are the jackass saying the Canadian system is simply better.

Which is the point. Do you really like to build strawman arguments?

I qualified my statement to make it correct. I'm all for a 2 tier system. Of course you can't sell a 2-tier system. Hell most Canadian’s will not admit that they have a 2 tier system even though they all have "rich friends" who get procedures done in the US.

I'm still waiting for something other than your unsupported assertion that this is the case.
