... and people wonder why Canadians are largely happy with health care and don't like the idea of health insurance...

Insurance companies scare me. To think they'd defend their client's killers in court after you've been paying them for years... it's appalling. This, in my opinion, is an order of magnitude worse than patent trolling.
