    Default More Canadian Hypocrisy

    Canada is at the bottom of the pack for the consumer friendliness of its health care system, according to a new report that compared it with 29 European nations.

    The Frontier Centre for Public Policy, a Winnipeg-based think-tank, used Canadian data to rank how it would score on the Euro Health Consumer Index. It found that Canada placed 23rd.

    And when researchers took into consideration how much countries spend on health care, Canada ranked last on the "bang-for-the-buck" scale.

    On the bright side, being last is normal for Canada, so this shouldn't be too hard to take.

    Just wondering : why the need to compare against European health care, when you yourself have stated many times European health care is useless?
    Would it not be much "smarter" to compare it against your superior health care system?

    Hansy, ask the authors of the report.

    You see, I linked to a news story. I did not write the story.

    One reason they may have compared Canada to Europe is because they were researching mediocre countries. I can neither confirm nor deny that is the reason.

    Is that clear, Hansy?

    No, not really clear. You picked the link for a reason. So what was your reason?
