Unlike it appears on the surface, this is an extremely complicated issue. For instance, one has to ask himself two questions: First, why does the U.S. have so many more CT and MRI machines per capita than Canada? Second, is it unquestionably a Good Thing that we have so many?
The real answers to these questions, if you're truly interested, can start to give you some insight into how complex this issue really is. Like Halliburton! and Flightsuit!, the simple cries of Socialized Medicine! and Long Waits! fail to grasp the reality of the situation.
