One citizen should not be treated better than another because they can afford better treatment. But that's the American way, isn't it? More money, more benefits.

Better car, better house, better schools, better clothes, better food, better life after retirement.....yep - in America, the vast majority of the time, the harder you work the better off you are. Is it somehow different in Canada?
When I worked for a Canadian company, anyone who had any $$ had supplemental insurance because the national plan took too long to get appointments, elective surgery, etc. Seems in Canada citizens are also treated better when they can afford better also.
Unfortunately, there are WAY too many times those who don't work at all are treated better than those who do, for instance: Medicaid, food stamps, government housing, etc. :angry:
Our government has screwed up almost everything they've gotten their hands on - national health care will be no different.
