Some people are simply sheep I guess. I think its a shame that healthcare is so politicized, I imagine that has made things far worse than better. That tends to be the norm when politicians get involved in something.
Does Quebec allow private clinics? If a province were to allow private care, does that become a heated provincial/fed issue?
Right now employers must provide insurance and costs are spiraling upwards. I think the big companies are MORE than willing to hand it off to Washington.
As in Canada I think the consumer, i.e. sick people will loose.
It is way easier for government and politicians to promote "wellness" and "prevention" and throw money at that than it is to treat a lot of really old and really sick people.
Never mind that they are the ones in dire need.
It reminds me of the gun registry in that it is easier and much more profitable for government employees to go after gun owners who have hurt no one than it is to go after armed criminals.
