If I was David Gratzer or John Graham’s alter egos I’d be using these two stories to good effect.

The first one one proves that Canadians are getting healthier and living longer than before they had a universal single payer system. And this one shows that your typical heart transplant patient from Canada ends up so healthy that he climbs huge mountains in Antarctica, and the only reason he didn’t get to the top is that the two doctors escorting him up couldn’t keep up the pace!

So by extrapolation the Canadian system must be perfect! With evidence like that, I should write a few op-eds saying so!
