Description
Yes!, is our guests' resounding answer to the title question--and without
unmaking what is generally agreed to be the world's finest health-care system (CS: "One
of the best things about the Canadian system is the proximity to the U.S."). Drs. Sanders
and Janeway emphasize portability (the ability to retain your medical insurance if you
change jobs) and insurance for catastrophic illness--which, says Dr. Janeway, could be
taken care of for "not a huge amount of cost to the American public per year." Dr.
Kurad--who was driven out of active practice of his specialty by "the paperwork mill
and the hassles with insurance and Medicare"--tells persuasively what business can do to
cut the red tape.
