maybe you should do a little follow up and present a "fair and balanced" view, rather than one promoting your agenda?

Why would I do that? I'm making an argument, my argument is buttressed by the article I linked to. If you want to refute it, then you refute it.
My statement still stands: in <em>some</em> cases, Canadian health care results in more instances of death. You've posted articles that suggest 1) that in a one year study, the care in the circumstance of people older than 65 with heart failure have resulted in similar mortality rates or 2) the lower mortality rates in the US is due to "regional" practices. My statement is still true: of heart attack patients, the five-year mortality rate was 21.4% among the Canadian study participants and 19.6% among U.S. participants - translation: in <em>this</em> case, US health care has resulted in lower mortality rate.
If you want to now "promote your agenda" by refuting mine, go right ahead.
