Also realize the US tax payer currently pays more than a Canadian tax payer per capita for health care already. The US pays more yet covers far less people because of the bloated system based on PROFIT. It's in everyone's best interest to make you sick, and then not treat a large % to keep revenues high. Sure you can say doctors fees are high because they need higher cost of malpractice insurance. But its a vicious circle where they all pat themselves on the backs and work together to raise profits. As long as you got HMO's dictating things, costs will continue to skyrocket and leave the have not's behind. And that is a large portion of the country.

Also factor in that a lot of Americans with insurance have massive deductible's and co-pay's that mean they may get 80% of their $100k bill taken care of, but they still have $20k they owe themselves after a $5k deductable etc etc. And most of the affordable plans are this way. Also most have a max of $250k or something like that for payout. So if you get Cancer your fucked.

So many flaws in the way its done in the US, especially when each US tax payer already pays double that in $ per person toward health care then that of a Canadian.
