Rich, though perhaps unintentionally, proved to be the perfect poster girl for the revamped institution. Reflecting on her First year of 1947, Rich recalls a "lack of caring about the minds that inhabit a woman's body."

If Canada were to abolish Medicare, tax rates would plummet, the Canadian government would run absurd surpluses and the level of care for some would definitely rise. Individuals would feel like they're benefiting until they had to pay hospital bills; the economy would certainly conform more to that of a capitalist democracy. Yet Canadians tend to agree that the society would suffer as a whole if Medicare were abolished. For us, the benefits of universal free health care aren't entirely...
