Should I still say our health care system is better? The guy has been living in pain for 10 years now because there is nothing our system can do about it. Now he'll spend the $50k to get in fixed in one of those 'other' countries.

Or should I stop whining because I was blessed to be born in Canada and not some crap hole like Lebanon? Maybe I should, but people tend to get frustrated when a system with obvious problems is not being fixed because the conversation is being dictated by people who use the US as a reason for why we shouldn't change.

Enough said.
