The doctor in me will respond. I agree with you completely. Canada has a good health care system. We all say that and we pat ourselves on the back. But I think one of the problems is that when it comes to veterans who have problems that are unique to veterans, not necessarily unique, and I correct myself because some of those symptoms, these illnesses, PTSD and so on, are not unique to the military. You see all these things in the civilian sector, but a civilian population is not necessarily tuned to the reality of what kind of life the soldier may have had. The soldier has had a health care system that has looked after him, but when he leaves and becomes a veteran in a civilian world, it's not the same. Whether improvements could be made to that is the bottom line of your question. Probably yes.
