Expect Taxes to go way way up, or cuts in other department, usually military.
My brother in law in Boston pays about 8000$ per year on health insurance (YOUR HOSPITALS LOOK LIKE HOTELS, ours look like chicken farms) and when he adds what he pays in taxes + what he pays in Health Insurance, he is still way below the 48% I pay, and I do not make much, just over $50K Canadian.
Do NOT lose what you have, you have a great deal...
I like your comment about our hospitals looking like hotels.
Up until recently, I worked (on an as needed basis) at a local hospital here. Employees there complained about the hospital looking like a hotel but patients still sleeping on lumpy, old mattresses. (and the hospital is quite beautiful, IMO)
While we were in Canada this past August, I read a newspaper article where Canada is trying to figure out how to get more doctors.
