That is a super story you are sharing with us! And I think the system you have I really like. I'm from the Netherlands and we introduced a state health system as well years ago. Although we have private companies handling the insurance side of things. They offer basic packages that must include everything the state defines as mandatory. On top of that they sell extras. I think we need a system like you have in Canada to be honest, since our system is overly complex. BUT, the good thing is, everybody is insured in my country as well. As long as one is a country citizen, healthcare will be given. I dont have that much experience with the system, but when I use it, I never had any issues. On the extras I sometimes have to debate with the insurance companies, but that has nothing to do with real medical care and payment for it, since that is part of the basic insurance. Extras are anything like, teeth bleaching, or using taxi service across the country to some remote hospital. Although I like states without to many rules, I love the socialistic approach to healthcare; One for All, all for One (oww, I love those movies as well, The Three Musketeers).
