It seems that where ever universal heath care system is implemented, it is never adequately funded despite how much money is thrown at it. Kinda like government Postal Systems - many are bankrupt.

In the end, it contributes to the eventual draining of the treasury unless drastic financial measures are taken. I don't see that happening anytime soon. That is what is occurring in Europe & now in North America.

I'm happy with our system in Canada & unfortunately like many other boomers, I'm taking more out of it as I'm now I'm a senior. Our system is not nearly as dreadful as is touted by the media & some politicians south of the border. Emergent situations are generally dealt with immediately & effectively. Things that can wait - wait.

But again, how long can our system remain solvent?
