Financially illiterate assessment:
Single payer is NOT health insurance, it is waiting for care that never comes.
What other grossly incorrect economic errors exist?
Who writes this trash?

Why would one want to retire in Arizona? How are the summers out there?We left the PRC (Peoples Republic of California) 27 years ago for Arizona.
An Arizona buck is worth about 3 San Diego buck in the cost of living exchange. I can open carry and we are much less regulated by out of control nanny government.
Gas is $1.00 or more cheaper per gallon. I grow fresh fruit and veggies in my back yard year round. The tomatoes and peppers are ripening along with the lemons and tangerines right now.
As for the summer, the AC keeps the house at a constant 78 degrees for $230 a month total electric bill with no threat of rolling blackouts. The Colorado river gives us all the water we need and is a cool place to take a dip in August.
Stay where you are.

I have known several Canadians who worked down here, and upon retirement every one of them went back home.
Leading me to believe that Canada offered a sweeter deal.

It’s cold, the mosquitoes are bigger than cats, mostly there is nothing there, the people are mostly LIB nitwits, there is no free speech, their government is run by LIB losers...and so forth. Retiring to canada is great FOR LIBs. Get OUT!

Almost 1/4 of the population of Canada are gay, and or child molesters and or homeless and or Smoking Marijuana from the time they wake up in the morning until the time they go to bed at night.
Oh wait.. that’s California.

A major benefit for Canadians is the publicly-funded universal healthcare system, which provides them with essential medical services throughout their lives, as well as in retirement, without co-pays or deductibles... and only six+ month waits for MRIs, CAT scans and other needed diagnostic procedures.

Survivable healthcare, or to put it another way, America has an abundance of physicians, medical facilities. And importantly America has a huge number of modern diagnostic equipment such as MRI's available to retiree's on Medicare so that there is
no appreciable delay in diagnosis or treatment
such as surgery which a retiree in Canada is sure to experience.
Oh and in America they don't put mayonnaise on hamburgers.

Who are they to define “old age” anyway...

Canadians dress-up their geese as Robins and send them to us to feed.
