Sanders has received much help in his efforts to reform his country’s health system from Canadian doctor Danielle Martin, a vice-president at Women’s College Hospital. At Sanders’s invitation, Martin appeared before a U.S. Senate subcommittee three years ago and deftly answered tough questions about Canada’s health system. Rubin explained that patients at the centre get high-quality health care from world-leading experts. “I know it is expensive.” The patient congratulated Sanders on his efforts to get single-payer health care introduced into the United States. Sanders acknowledged the Canadian health system is not perfect, noting that public coverage of drugs is limited and dentistry, for the most part, is not covered.
