What's really silly about the whole Shona Holmes thing is that the Obama proposal isn't even close to the kind of healthcare system Canadians have. It's not free, there are still seventy bazillion private hospitals (I work in one), the private insurers are still shamboling around waiting to deny us treatment and/or eat our brains, and the employment-based system, silly as it is, is still firmly in place (and honestly, having one's healthcare contingent upon where one works is really pretty random, not to mention idiotic).
