theatlantic: Health Care: 2000: “We must have universal healthcare… Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork… The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans.
