Now, here in Canada, our taxes are rising because of the

than the private sector, and in most cases not nearly as well. It's
fine to have cheap insurance, but if the services aren't available,
where's the benefit?

I read today on Canada.com that you're having trouble keeping enough
doctors up there. Perhaps cheap insurance doesn't pay well enough.
