Yeah, i saw Sicko, and it really moved me. I think that healthcare is the largest domestic challenge facing our country right now. And I don't know that there's a clear, easy answer. I think that we can take some hints from Cuba, but we wouldn't want to copy their system- they have PLENTY of problems too, they're just different problems than ours. I guess the point of all this was to show that there IS a difference, there are other answers... and that listening to your own government too much isn't healthy. I love my country, but i don't trust my government any farther than I can throw it.

And as far as moving to Canada goes, i think you're doing the right thing by staying. A good friend of mine, HT, once told me that if you leave your country when things aren't going the way you like, you are abandoning it in its time of need. Instead, it is more heroic to stay and work for change.
