And it's hard to argue with results unless one is ideologically prejudiced (in the literal sense of the word, to pre-judge). After all, Canadian individuals, government and companies spends less per capita and less as a percentage of GDP on medicine than the U.S. does, but we have longer life expectancies, greater quality of life (as judged by international third-party standards), and greater infant survival rates. And we have similar demographics to boot. Both systems have their problems and triage is exercised one way or another; we just do it differently. -- Marc A.
