in that case I understand where you're coming from on the abortion thing. It actually turns out after further research that I was wrong; abortions in clinics in British Columbia are not covered, but ones performed in hospitals are. In some ways it becomes hard to compare our countrys' needs, when America is so much more conservative than Canada. It's a whole different playing field.

Here's another interesting thought about health care coverage: At a call centre I used to work at someone asked the site manager why they had outsourced to Canada rather than just keeping it in the states. The manager explained that while they had to pay higher hourly wages in Canada, the overall costs were much lower, because the company had to pay much lower premiums to offer health insurance. Health insurance was the #1 reason the jobs went to Canadians and not Americans.
