THE MUNK DEBATES
"Be it resolved, I would rather get sick in the U.S. than in Canada." Arguing for the benefits of the Canadian healthcare system are former Democratic National Committee Chairman and presidential candidate Howard Dean, and Dr. Robert Bell, President and CEO of the University Health Network, Canada's largest research hospital. Speaking in favour of the U.S. system is Dr. William Frist, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader and nationally recognized heart and transplant surgeon, and Dr. David Gratzer, a licensed physician in the U.S. and Canada, and author of the Donner Prize award-winning book, Code Blue: Reviving Canada's Health Care System.

Happily, there are alternatives that are humane, healthy and kind to the environment.
