Ottawa is a-goggle with the Supreme Court's ruling that allows for private insurance (I can't be bothered to link to anything, but Canadians, at least, should be familiar with the issues) to cover for medical care when the government is content to let people sit in agony on waiting lists for years -- or until death intervenes -- until our bloated, inefficient system finally gets around to fixing them.
Security of the person and all that. I never thought I'd be saying this, but: Yay! Supremes!
"Free" health care = Da Canadian value.
