It may be reasonable to expect government managed health care to turn out like military medicine. I have no personal experience, but my father was in the Navy for 20 years, and has nothing good to say about it, at all, other than it was free.

Thats where you should be using democracy to demand changes and focus on quality of care. If the current admin doesn't want to do it, then elect someone that will. Don't let the government dictate what is what and just accept it as they have the power. The people have the power they just gotta get informed and unite to make it happen. In a me first society like the US that is harder than said of course. I fear Canada is slowly migrating that direction too but so far its good. Harper came out last week and set a date for withdrawal in the war unless the people want to continue. That goes against his nature but he knows that if he went with what he wanted, his government would lose the next election. They still fear the people and know that change can happen at any time.
