Respectfully, 1985 isn't 2013, a lot of things have changed in 28 years!

Have you seen the US health system? Surely you wouldn't wish that on us?

I think we need some more up-to-date statistics on this before anything meaningful could be discussed. Respectfully, I don't think the Fin Review is the best source of unbiased statistics.
