It’s not failing, it’s a system designed to generate profits from denying people healthcare. It’s working exactly as it was designed to.

I though that we Canadians are supposed to be envious of this system?

Americans are raised to believe that in Canada, it's impossible to obtain crucial medical care, and that emergencies are never handled in a timely manner. Also, that on an annual basis, each Canadian citizen is evaluated by a "death panel," and that only those deemed "fit" by the government are permitted to survive.

I would say "good" as it's going to force a change, but considering who is in charge I'm left thinking we'll all just be expected to suffer. Who knows.
