There was a recent article in the Toronto Star that cited how Canada’s vaunted government-run health care system is failing in its fight against COVID. Meanwhile, the evil private health care system in the US is doing much better.

Half of all patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the United States who enter a hospital receive medication proven to shorten hospital stays. In Canada, less than 10 per cent do. We are not taking advantage of medications that could preserve hospital capacity and keep more patients out of intensive care and off ventilators.

Both systems of health care, public and private, have their strengths and weaknesses. Most European countries utilize a combination of both private and public to provide the best medical services for their citizens.
