Nothing to brag about

Our prime minister goes on and on about how great our health-care system is, but is it really anything we should be bragging about?

According to SARS statistics released from the World Health Organization, Canada had a total of 251 cases with 38 deaths for a death rate of 15%, while the U.S. had a total of 73 cases with a death rate of 0. Maybe we should have sent our citizens who contracted SARS down to the States where they actually would have had a chance to survive?
