112. but the Canadian system is a total fluke

They only got universal government health care because one of their prime ministers, Diefenbaker, had a sick mother who he couldn't pay for her health costs. So he passed a law guaranteeing universal government health care, and was able to pay off his mother's health care bills.

All we need is for everyone in Congress to have mothers who get sick, and they can't pay off the health care bills. We'd get universal government health insurance for sure, then.
