As more and more nations throughout the world seek to infuse more private, market-based solutions into their government-controlled healthcare systems, for some reason lefties in this country want to make the same mistake that countries like Canada made decades ago. Let's hope voters in North Carolina and across the US wake up, or else we may be forced to confront "rationing services or injecting massive amounts of new money" into a system that even one of its pioneers admits to being a failure.

What is it with democrats that they need to completely fail in real time with their crap socialist planning? They fail to learn from other countries that have failing healthcare plans. Why do they feel the need to go down the same damn road and think they will get a different outcome??? I hate these damn shit heads!!!

American liberals, in their arrogance, believe that NO socialistic idea has truly been tested until the USA fails at it.

FTA: “We are proposing to give a greater role to the private sector so that people can exercise freedom of choice.”

That’ll never work, silly rabbit...

Not all single payer is the same - and different schemes meet the needs of different groups, or constituencies.

The Canadian system lacks a private pay safety valve. In the UK, that works reasonably well. It would be even better if private insurance there was more widely available.

Hillary’s bill included a $50 000 fine and FIVE YEARS IN PRISON for a doctor taking a fee to treat a US citizen outside of her system. You can be sure that the Democrat version of single payer will have something like that.

But what people want (and I’ve been sending doctor bills for 43 years) is to take Johnny or Jane in for the sore throat, not seeing a “we take VISA” sign, and having the checkout girl say only,”I hope Johnny feels better soon”.

THAT version of single payer is very doable.

[Quebec was] then the largest and most affluent in the country


If Quebec was the largest back then, I’d say it still is. Provinces seldom shrink.

As for most affluent, it’s hard to believe Quebec was ever more affluent than Ontario, but I’ll take his word for it.

The Canadian model is propped up by the fact that people can go outside of Canada for treatment.

...for some reason lefties in this country want to...

For SOME reason?

Power and money.

Those are the two reasons that Lefties (AKA: Democrats) do anything.

The ONLY two reasons.

Always.

I suspect that Canada's health care will become more costly as they sell the US less fossil fuel and fewer forestry products. (Due to Trump's likely tariffs).

Quebec — then the largest and most affluent in the country—

So what happened to Quebec?
