Canadian health care: At the expense of defense?

Reading some Sicko comments over at Matthew Holt’s:

One other point that should be noted, all of those nations that have universal health care sacrifice other areas that receive little or no attention. For example, Canadian [sic] could not fight off the invasion of a blind army because it has woefully underfunded its national defense, relying instead upon the good old United States for its national defense. Its medical care system would change very rapidly but for that fact.
