To understand how much Canadians value their national health system, consider that the winner of a reality TV show called "The Greatest Canadian" was the man known as the "father of Medicare."

Talk about health care in Europe or Canada or almost anywhere else in the world where the government plays a major role and many Americans decry what they characterize as "socialized" medicine.

Web pages set up by CWA and the AFL-CIO have drawn responses from hundreds of union members and other working people who are posting their health care stories.
