I take it, sir, that you're probably aware that in the 1960s there was a raging debate in this country about whether or not we could provide universal health care coverage for every Canadian so every Canadian could go to a doctor or go to a hospital, and exactly the same arguments were being made then as you are making here today, that it's unaffordable and it ought not to be pursued.
Would you agree with me that the issue of affordability is only one aspect of this, but also the public policy benefits of making sure that every Canadian can get access to the medicine they need regardless of their ability to pay is also an important factor?
