I need help calibrating my TV

No they are not all white Europeans! (and the idea that all Europeans have one culture is laughably ignorant!)

In terms of counting different cultures, Europeans count as one for many, valid, reasons. You could contrast the culture in Las Vegas to Anchorage and would be hard pressed to find more similarities than differences- it still counts as one culture though.

Yes, it is fair for the most part.  Australia runs a scheme that is almost identical to Canada's.

Actually, no, yours is very different. Canada pays the second most in the world for their prescription drugs, considerably higher then what you pay in Australia- I would have to double check, but in relative terms Canada is closer to our prices than yours if I recall correctly. You have to remember that Canada likes to promote the *idea* that they are progressive- but they are *extreme* corporate lackeys in any policy sense.

You Americans should count yourselves lucky that Cananda currently has a loophole that allows you to use their system to obtain cheaper medicine.

Canada uses price fixing. Second highest price in the world, but price fixed. Your government is actually subsidizing it, there is actually a fairly huge difference.
