Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle devoted a whole section to op-eds calling for some form of government-run universal health care system.
Meanwhile, anybody who is yearning for a Canadian-style government-run health care system might want to (a) ask themselves: "Why is it that 21 people have died of SARS in Canada but none in the United States?" and then (b) go read Mark Steyn for an answer.
In other words, imagine what might happen to your health if going to the doctor was like going to the DMV.
UPDATE Dick Gephardt is making DMV-style healthcare the centerpiece of his Presidential campaign.

There is an arguement to be made about whether the result would be different had she been American. But, since she wasn't, it's all hypothetical.
