Well, things won't be so good by then, will they? But, don't worry about Canada, what will happen to the US?

Seriously, with any luck some sense will come to our political leaders. There is no reason that people can't pay a small user fee for a doctor visit or a hospital stay or even an ambulance ride. Believe it or not, a $5 charge for all of these services would go a long way to relieving the situation.

When I was born in 64 the total cost was only a couple hundred dollars.

I was wrong. My mother says the total hospital bill for my delivery was $80 in 1964.

Yes, of course. After posting, the obvious answer that Canada would begin to encourage private medical services occurred to me. The socialization of America's health care is probably what it will take.

Harper could surprise, though.

A $5 charge that half of America would be exempted from plus illegal aliens while a few end up paying three or four times as much.
