Yes, certainly, basic care is simple. Routine checkups? no problem. Emergency room care? Covered again (everybody gets this in the US too; the high cost of hospitals is largely due to the fact that so many who get emergency room care don't pay for it). But rationing out end of life care? Deciding who gets an organ transplant? How about those experimental treatments? How MRI machines should be distributed in the health care system? Suddenly not so simple. Suddenly not so efficiently run by government bureaucrats. Which is why so many Canadians wind up coming to the US for care that is denied or delayed at home.
