Well that's all fine, art. I think in a society that provides universal health coverage from public funding and also provides plenty of opportunity for private-owned health insurance companies...which is what we do in Canada...I think that provides the best of both worlds.

That way everyone has a choice of which way they want to go, right?

The biggest weakness in our public health insurance system in Canada is this: it does not cover dental care. It should. Dental care is very, very expensive, and I have known a good many people who simply could not afford it, and as a result their health was directly affected in a very serious way.

It's a hole in the Canadian system that should be fixed.
