I'm hardly wealthy, and the US system is available to me. OTOH, my relatives in Canada do not have the same access I do, even though some of them make a lot more money than I do...although the rich and powerful in Canada do have the same, or grater access to health care in Canada as I have in the US. Why is it that people like you have to believe if the govt doesn't provide some service, it is only available to the rich and powerful? You know it's interesting that in countries like Canada and say France, ordinary people have far less access to health care than the rich and powerful, whereas here in the US, ordinary people like me have much more similar access to health care as do the rich and powerful.
