plans with comprehensive coverage and less expensive plans that cover only basic health care needs.

Neither of those options are Insurance, Insurance insures against an Unexpected Event. Get rid of 3rd part payers and put people in control, go back to Real Insurance where they pay for UNEXPECTED Events not Regular Medical Care. You go to the doctor for something normal, minor and EXPECTED, YOU PAY.

Regular Health Care is still relatively cheap if you actually Pay for it yourself. A knee replacement can be had for $15k ALL IN NO insurance. Insurance is $1000 per month, $8,000 deductible and they pay 60% after that. DO THE MATH!!!

I remember the OLD health ins, that didn’t pay doc office visits, scripts. Just OB, ER with co-pays unless you were admitted.

I can tell you most Canadian’s who can afford health care come to the USA. Those who can’t only the fairly healthy get treated. I’ve a 50 yr old friend who’s DYING of an Incurable disease, he can’t find a doctor to treat him, he’s given under mg pain meds, he turns 50 on the 16th, if he lives another month it will be in NAZI TORTURE THAT WOULD MAKE Dr. Josef Mengele PROUD.
