I understand what you are saying about people not taking as good of care of themselves but Canadians are still healthier even with universal healthcare. Anyway, I don't think people will change their lifestyle too much if medicine is free.

Its a risk but i think it is worth it.
Actual these countries have to reform their health care because of the costs associate with them. Lowering benefits even further and probably making the lines even longer. As a whole quality health care for everyone is out of reach at this point in time.
