At least one of the articles you're attacking is from the New York Times, which is generally recognized as a "liberal" paper.

Either way, however, you're only attacking the source, not disproving my point, to wit, that socialized medicine doesn't work very well.

Speaking of that point, your original argument appeared to be that Canadian health care was better. You later brought forth your anecdotal story about leukemia treatments and co-pays in your state.

However, it appears that, "[i]n Canada, expensive chemotherapies are not commonly covered by the national health plan."

Therefore, even if we accept your premise vis a vis the US and a chemotherapy for leukemia, your apparent solution, embracing the Canadian model, would not solve the problem.
