The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Sorry, but non-partisan reviews show that Canada's system works better than ours does. And I like your 2008 book on innovation.

I had a coworker from the UK (Scotland). He said that if you were rich, the US system was better. Otherwise, the UK system is better. So, for about -guesstimating- 10% of the population the US system is ideal. For the other 90%, not so much.

No system is perfect. All of them have flaws. Our flaw is that you have to be rich to afford care. Their flaw is that you may have to wait awhile to get non-urgent care, but you won't go broke getting well.
