Surgery
A Canadian's story about how he had to go to the United States to get treatment
for his brain tumor.
Sicko
Michael Moore's rave against the insurance industry. Unfortunately he only
addresses a small part of the problem with our health care system, insurance
companies. Unstated although always obvious in his examples are doctors that are
government employees. The American Medical Association let the insurance
industry take it on the chin and gave Sicko a pass even though they have always
led the fight to make sure that doctors in this country can charge whatever they
want, even if the don't provide adequate care.
The Lemon
Examples of how Canada's single payer system has resulted in life saving
surgeries being rescheduled as "elective" and other foibles of state planning in
health care.

difference in our health system and other systems around the world.

waiting for free government health care.
