This is news to me. A socialist system? Living close to the Canadian
border, I can pick up the Winnipeg talk shows on a regular basis. Three
weeks ago, one of the topics of discussion was the fact that many
Americans are coming north to Canada to buy prescription drugs. In Canada
the very same drug will cost on the average SIXTY PERCENT LESS what it
costs in the US because of the American pharmaceutical manufacturers'
control of the American market.
Also, there's a thriving insurance industry in Canada selling medical
insurance to Canadians who plan on visiting the US. They have to take out
policies because if they get into an accident here without insurance,
they can expect to pay a good percentage of their savings to the doctors
and hospital. We have a socialist medical system? uh....not quite.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
