For example, there are fewer than 200 MRI machines in the whole
country of Canada (and probably none in Cuba). We have more MRI
machines in my CITY than in the whole country of Canada.

Do yo have a cite for that?

That's one of those oft repeated lies that if they get told often
enough they become true.

But the lie aside- It isn't how many MRIs you have that make
healthcare for everyone work. It is how much access to good
healthcare everyone has.

MRIs & similar expensive machines are part of our problem with
out-of-control healthcare costs. A Dr. buys a machine and starts all
his diagnostics by using the damn thing so the patient's insurance
company can pay for it.

BTW- I've asked a half dozen Canadians that I've met if they'd
prefer our healthcare system to theirs & so far, no takers.

Then consider the fact that Sarah Palin admitted that when they
needed health care when she was young they headed for the boarder
for the Canadian health care system.

then consider that the prime minister of canada went to the us for
medical care.

Then consider that more US people go to other countries for health care than
foreigners come here.
