CNN and Fox News are what used to be called propoganda media outlets in less developed countries. Their bias is very apparent when you compare it with more objective reporting services in other western countries.
The Canadian system is far from perfect but it does work. Just this week an old friend of mine was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer and he was operated on within 48 hours. This long delay and forced trip to a US hospital is a myth IMO. Needless to say he didn't have to morgage his home or empty his wallet.
On the other hand, it disturbs me when I vacation in Florida to see seniors who should be enjoying their retirement years taking low level jobs in order to pay for a spouse's medical or drug bills. I've often thought that the measure of a society is how it treats its underprivileged, like children and seniors.
