I think you're right. The Canadian provinces are almost run like separate countries, but I believe they all are required to provide public health care and education among other things, per federal guidelines. I'm not sure if say England and Scotland have separate administration of health care, but I don't think it matters. In all those other countries, health care is a citizen's right, not a privilege like here. I think if "socialized" medicine were so bad as the naysayers say, we'd see that reflected in the stats.
