Using Shona's clip and any other information that you may have, what are your perceptions of Canada's health care model? how do you think we as US citizens play into this "consumer idea" as Shona put it and which country (US or Canada) should change in that regard in terms of health services?

ISAPRES is a private health care system in Chile that received approximately 45% of the

this wasteful?
