Obama's Health Care Overhaul: Your Opinions

It's my understanding that the system in Canada is based on the US Medicare system. Do you Canadians know if this is true?

Also, when Taiwan and South Korea went shopping around the planet for the best system to replicate in their country guess which system they chose? yep, you go it, the US Medicare system. So sad that other countries can see how great our single payer system is and want to use it as a model for their country, yet we can not simply extend this to all of our citizens.

We are one twisted country.
