Fair enough i guess my response was more taking into account the poster in particular who is obviously wants a more US system then taking on the concept of user fees.
However, I would disagree that Sweden for example is more similar to the US then we are. Yes they have small user fees which are capped at a significantly level lower then the old health care premiums we use to pay. But they also have a prescription drug coverage, ambulance coverage, partial dental coverage amoung other things that neither Canada or the US have.
I would argue that in the case of Sweden, Canadians already pay more in fees in terms of private insurance coverage then a Swedish person would for similar coverage.
