Two, that's not a personal story so much as it's a comparison of the two systems. Yearly mammograms reduce the risk of breast cancer by catching it early. They are not available in Canada, but they are available in the US. In this example, socialized medicine is not the better system.

Yes I agree. In this, quite narrowminded view, socialized medicine is not a better system.
However, I do think you stretched my question to the limit. A single parent working to make ends meet probably don't have the surplus to take a yearly trip to the US for a scan.
Are you sure your aunt meets the criteria described?
Anyway I have a feeling that we're at a stalemate. You don't want to recognise any problems whatsoever with the american health care system, and I'm not ready to fall to my knees and bow.
But as we all know, It's good to be on the saved side. And from there it's easy to cast stones on the less
fortunates.
