Medicare in Canada is not only this country's most treasured social program it has become a defining national characteristic. Even with recent concerns over flaws in the system - long wait times shortages of key service providers - leading to questions about the possible benefits of a two-tiered approach the consensus is that single-payer publicly funded health care has worked for forty years to provide Canadians with accessible high quality services at a much lower cost than in the mainly for-profit system to the south.
