“Florida is filled with Canadians who think the US system is very poor.”
No, Florida is filled with Canadians who love the US medical care, they just don't want to have to pay for it. When the US goes to Universal health care, access to it will be limited, just as it is everywhere else it has been tried. Of course the Hollywood liberals will still be able to afford private care, just us great unwashed will be left waiting 3 years for a routine operation.

I know people who have lived in Florida for twenty years but they hang on to their Canadian residency in order to preserve their health care. I know Floridians who make an annual trip to Canada in order to buy prescription drugs. There has got to be a better way to do health care, especially if it can improve competitiveness,

You are correct. What are they doing in Florida if they love Canadian health care?

There will be rationing with government health care. I read about one country with government health care that deemed anyone over 55 too old for dialysis. I suppose that they had to die!

Also, without doubt, the quality of doctors will decline. My sister is a doctor, and she already wants to retire way early because she is fed up with the government and insurance regulations which take up her time and make her struggle to get paid. In 1982, residents training at Boston’s elite hospitals were already complaining that they would have become lawyers had they known about the excessive regulation of doctors.

Beware socialized medicine.
