I'm glad you like it Angie! It is still one of my favorite intros for someone interested in how other capitalist, democratic countries handle health care.
Of course we have to consider that you are Canadian - and if I listen to the health insurance propaganda here - are dying waiting health care, live in an igloo, eat whale blubber, and have ambulances consisting of dog sleds. So you may not know any better. 
Yeah in this year alone I have heard all that and I never realized how the rest of the world knew so little of Canadian health care. I mean .. we are NOT dying waiting for health care -- I am proof of that -- and I have never even SEEN an igloo or a dog sled or even a whale in my life!
Plus I like the tax system even though I HATE how high the taxes have gone in Canada.
Why? Because I like going to the hospital and only worrying about my health and NOT how it will be paid for...
Plus since our taxes pay for it we don't even realize we are all paying for it here (well we forget sometimes because it is just the way it has been here for awhile now) until we hear about the stories from the USA and think "Boy are we lucky in Canada we don't have to worry about what we will do 3 years after our kidney transplants!"
