Socialized Medicine III

It has been a tough week for government run health care on ThreeSources. Today, Cafe Hayek reports on The Death of the Canadian Model

We pointed out things were bad at the NHS. Our neighbors to the north allowed the crack in the dam when its supreme court ruled that private medical purchases could not be outlawed. Freedom is now rushing in. The NYTimes reports:

The country's publicly financed health insurance system — frequently described as the third rail of its political system and a core value of its national identity — is gradually breaking down. Private clinics are opening around the country by an estimated one a week, and private insurance companies are about to find a gold mine.

I flog this deceased equine because many people still want to bring this model here.
