People are on waiting lists for years to get a hip replacement and people have to wait 7-33 weeks just to get a simple MRI. Why does everyone say Canada's health care plan is so great when some people die on a waiting list? I don't understand what's so great about it besides it's free cost. But then again, don't you have to pay a 15% sales tax just to fund it?

Actually, that's not true. Pure capitalism is social darwinism, which would mean that we would have no safety nets or anything to help lower class people. The United States has a mixed economy as well.

Don't the Marxists believe that it'd be a perfect world (utopia) if such a thing ever existed?

Well, they don't use the term utopia, because a utopia is widely accepted as something that can never be achieved. Utopia is impossible.
My dad is a marxist, and he believes that all people deserve an equal chance in society. They know that there are some flaws in the idea, but most true marxists don't really believe that an actual, marxist government has ever existed. The think the Soviet government, Chinese, etc. were all misrepresentations of marxism and communism.
