>I thought things were bad here in Canada, but you write "I am not surprised one out of four americans is without health insurance." Is that really true? What happens if they get sick? 

	What's never mentioned in that stat is that two of the four
are on gov't assistance programs (medicaid and medicare aren't
counted as "insurance" for the stat), and that another 1.8 of the
four *CHOOSE* not to pay for health insurance - they're the 18-30
year old crowd with good jobs and no kids.
