I have a question, If there are no long waiting lines in the canada system, and the service is good, why do many (even the small %) choose to pay from their pocket and use the usa services? That does not add up to my thinking. Also if you change the usa system, to be more like the canada system, why would anyone try and create the new services that people come to the usa for from all over the world? even the drug companies will loose the funding to develop and test new drugs because the drive of profit will be gone.
I believe that if a change like this happens, then the greatest loss will not be to the people of the usa, but to the world, who will loose the usa system, and the advances that the "greed" drive.
I believe it is out of control, and needs some change. But I also believe that too big of a change too quickly may cause unforseen damage.
My father's life was saved this year by a heart proceedure that is only a few years old. Just so you know where I am comming from.
