Great 'reader' post on Andrew Sullivan's blog regarding health care reform. It is from a Canadian who compares the American and the Canadian system. While there are flaws in both systems, the reader points out that there is not one person who prefers the American system. When more than half of personal bankruptcies are due to healthcare costs, it is not sustainable.

Unfortunately I have seen this in my family. Paying for my grandmother's health care caused significant financial strain on me and my family. My Mom has never recovered from it.
