This comes from a woman who lived in the US and now livese in Canada. She compares the two systems.

She makes a good case.


Would research still be advancing apace with a Canadianised system?


Medicine is still one of our net exports because we still come up with a lot of new ones.

Plane, I get a weekly newsletter meant for nurses, doctors, and other health professionals. They do let you receive the newsletter if you're just interested in medicine or want to research a particular health problem. 
Canadians do their share of research and writing of medical papers, making new medicines and treatments, etc.

The government is letting US citizens import about a 90-day supply of medicines from Canada.  Thank goodness.
