This is an online message board for God sake, take it easy, these are the types of places you are supposed to analyze your opinion. Besides, for every paper saying Canada is 2nd worst in 1 category, you could find 3 others saying the opposite, everybody knows that. It is just about reading through all the material and forming an opinion based on what is said. All I was saying is that it is funny how much some Canadians laugh at the US system, when in reality Canadians have one of the worst healthcare systems themselves.

"I can make a very grandiose statement and not back it up if I want too. Why are you calling me on this? It's a message board, I can have outlandish opinions without backing them up! You shouldn't ask me to back it up!"
I like how you basically concede your entire arguement by saying, "I heard something in class once," then move on too, "Well for every one you find saying something bad you will find three more saying it isn't." I dunno, when the odds are 3 to 1, I tend to side with the three. Especially since, according to you, every bad one I find will just double the numbers.
There are opinions: "I personally think Canada has the second worst system behind the United States."
Then there is what you said: "The US has the worst healthcare out of developed countries, with Canada following as the 2nd worst."
That's you trying to pass your opinion off as fact and he had every reason to call you on it.
