State monopolies of health care do not work...and your insistence of maintaining one shows how out of touch you are. It's flawed, it's broken, and you need to get out more.
Yes and no. Generally things operated by the Gov't are run less efficiently
or effectively than if they were run by the private sector.
That said, the Canaduian Gov't's ability to negotiate drug prices with the big
pharmaceuticals, has resulted in far lower drug prices for seniors
than any senior would be able to negotiate on their own.
I've heard some of the U.S. States want to copy our approach.
