America's current patchwork private/public health care system is at the proverbial swirl before the drain. Clearly, there are flaws to the Canadian system, and any national health care system would have some definite liabilities, but the longer Americans delude themselves into believing the current system is the least bit sustainable, the larger the health pandemic of tomorrow will be.

Even the big bad government argument isn't effective since countries with national health care plans have administrative costs as much as 80% lower than our system's has. I'll resist the temptation to lecture on....lol.
