i grew up in canada. i worked at the frazier institute, and in the late ph '80s we started looking at the growing waiting lists in canada. then in '91 i came to the u.s. to head up pacific research and got the opportunity to get involved in hillarycare and then, of course, following what's been going on in particular with president obama and obama care, just totallyjust involved in it. >> host: in the book you acknowledge that the american health care system was in need of reform. in 2009 when this really began to take up -- what do you see a. the major problem with the american health care system? >> guest: well, you know,w, e everyone wants affordable,cess accessible, quality health care. . the president, of course,mented universal coverage and bend the cost curve down. we spent about 17% of our gross domestic product on health care. i would like to see the health care system reformed. my vision though is not increasing the role of government in health care. we have about 50% of health care is in the ha

which is like canada. we have long waits, rationed care, and lack of access to the latest technology. on the issue that you talked about, comparative effectively research which is patterned after n.i.c.e. in the uk, and the administrator, he loves n.i.c.e., he call it is -- calls it a national treasure. the government determines what health treatments are cost effective as compared to medically effective. i think the 15 panel group of bureaucrats who will be part of the comparative effectiveness board, they are also going to determine what is cost effective as opposed to medically effective. that is going to end in ration care. they will be decided what kind of health care, not the private sector. >> host: we have a tweet. this viewer tweets texas has regulated medical malpractice and has seen the same increase as state that is have not done so. >> guest: well, i guess i would disagree. in texas in 2003, the state capped not economic damages and punitive damages at $500 and $250,000. we have seen in texas

its atlantic canada.and the west, so it is the national phenomenon that is going on tonight which makes it exciting because that means it's real and it's going to last. >> the became as use it is all to what is broken and we have to fix it how do they fixed ottawa and with that majority and you still feel responsible for that majority given the way that the vote work of? islamic we have the most seats we ever have and doubled the vote. we grew and took conservatives. there is a realignment going on. i'm very excited and very proud. >> how is the ndp going to be an official opposition with that sort of authority? >> we are going to hold the government to account and support that which is good and oppose them when they go off track, for the five things we ran on. more job creation, pension security, cleaning up ottawa once and for all, holding the government to account. it's kinda hard for you guys to get things done with a majority government and completely different views on a pretty much everything from

c-span: did people know of him in canada? can you remember that when... >> guest: yes, but nothing with the same power that we had here. one of the very first things that abc ever did as a network was to--was to televise in full the army-mccarthy hearings. nobody else did them. i was surprised at the time. but, clearly, one of the most destructive politicians of the time. could he come again? yes, but i think it'd be a good deal more difficult. c-span: why? >> guest: because i think people would--i think people would be quicker to jump on him now than they were. president didn't jump on him very quickly at the time. took a long time before edward r. murrow worked up that quite astonishing level of courage, which i don't think we would think of so--i just don't think people would keep him at arm's length today as they did then for such a long period of time. again, for--for--for those of us who didn't live through it, the picture of mccarthy has on the backside of that page the testimony of lee grant, an actress who was blackl

one of the misconceptions about canada is that canada has fewer firearms and the united states. they do have i think numerically probably fewer firearms. it is a hunting society, and there are a lot of guns -- [inaudible] >> percentage of ownership is quite high. i'm not sure if it's higher, but i will trust you if you know. and so, that to me makes it even more important to understand the sort of cultural differences in underlying currents of violence. it's a difficult question. there are other societies that have proportions of gun ownership. sweden, every household has a long gun in it because men serve in the mushy and trained. height numbers of guns in these societies, very few incidents of interpersonal violence. then there are places like japan. we've all been focused on japan in the news over the past week, and japan has very what i would call high level of cultural violence. if you watch japanese cinema, you're familiar with japanese animation, incredibly violent. and yet again low levels of interpersonal violence in japan. so these are all things that we should know, f
