rr,
I lived and worked in Canada for five years --know a lot more about single payer than you do.
Canadians had to get used to doctors --the good ones --moving to America to earn what they deserve --leaving not only less than the best doctors --but waiting lists for
many serious tests and procedures. Many Canadians also come down to the U.S. for Immediate treatment.
Canadians also pay higher taxes----would YOU like a GST FED TAX ON EVERYTHING YOU BUY ??? and with a minimum military --there National Security depends on the PROTECTION of the U.S. When Russia and Putin were making a move on the Northern oil ----what made them back off --the Canadian Navy ??
Like it or not --Our Military has a Stabilizing impact on the world ---let the entire military complex --shink and disappear --put a massive single payer medical system for our ENTIRE population and expect our National Seccurity to be done by the Canadians or Mexico ---Please get out of la-la land.
What is becoming very clear --even to liberals that were working and PAYING for their own healthcare -----THE TAKERS---the wagon sitters --are driving up costs and will drive RATIONING for all of us ----Healthcare free???? for all --no extra doctors or Hospitals ---government Re-Imbursements --less and less to doctors and hospitals ----less incentive to become doctors ----etc etc etc
