No Health Care in Canada

I came across something interesting on the Urban Legends website snopes.com. This posting (warning: heavy on pop-ups) is about an e-mail explaining all the problems with Health Canada. The explaination of the e-mail is what I found most interesting. Health insurance coverage in Canada is not "universal" in that it varies in degree of cost and service by each of the 13 provinces in Canada. Your financial burden, your wait times, your access and your treatment can depend on where you live and your financial circumstances. Basically, Canadian health care is like American health care, there is no one magic bullet.
