Socialized medicine certainly has its benefits as well as its drawbacks, based on what I've read. Canada's plan doesn't seem all that great to me.
Unless a fundamental shift in thinking occurs in this country, I don't see Americans trusting their government enough and will not shell out extra tax money to pay for it. We're ornery by default and we like it that way. It makes us look like assholes on one hand, but helps cushion us when we hit rough financial times better than most countries.
