This was started by my statement that I never met a Canadian who would
trade his system for ours. Now you bring in Israel. Just what has that to
do with the Canadian system? The point is that there are better systems in
operation than the current USA one. We don't have to reinvent the wheel. We
only need adopt a system in use that provides health care to every one. And
you must be an egotist to think that you are the only one that listens
to or reads foreign news.
... A conclusion is where you got tired of thinking.
