No, here in Canada you are 38% more likely to die from cancer than the US because of a single payer system.
I’ve been advocating for privatization for years, and the US wants to go in this direction? It’s pure crazy. Also, call me crazy, but I don’t like anyone having power over my health, least of all government officials.
Well, I might prefer to be in Canada rather than experience the total disarray and dysfunction that this country’s system will undergo next year.
My experience in British Columbia was that ordinary, everyday ailments received OK treatment, minus timely advanced imaging, orthopedic surgical procedures, oncology treatments, etc.
But, no, even for common stuff their insurance and delivery model wouldn’t work here.
I, for one, would be satisfied with a policy having low benefit caps — no bypasses, transplants, $15,000/month cancer drugs or fancy multispectralhyperboson imaging.
The muslim in the WH wants it. Not us citizens. But hell, they don’t listen to us.
