Even though we live in Canada, I understand that our ability to enjoy high-quality cheap health care depends on health-care advances funded by richer countries: the U.S., of course, Japan, England. Perhaps Switzerland, too. And we certainly might live in the U.S. again some day.

I hope this Medicare mess gets sorted out before then.
