If Canada is so great why does any Canadian that can afford it come to the States for medical treatment? Why do Canadian educated and trained doctors flee to the States after graduation? It is very clear to me Koan that once again you are entirely ignorant on this subject.

"big Pharma, the medical insurance companies and other big medical companies" There are some "mis-guided" fiscal conservatives that are for a free market medical marketplace, but I don't believe for a second that these companies want a free market pure capitalistic medical marketplace. They get a much bigger, guaranteed chunk of the US annual GDP when the government is subsidizing them. And you didn't answer my question about how you felt about Obamacare being a privatized system funded by government $$s?

i appreciate your experience in public health and completely agree that the u.s. should have universal healthcare like other civilized countries. politically, though, how can u.s. citizens be comfortable with a system like aca/obamacare, that is controlled by insurance and pharmaceutical corporations? obama's negotiations with those corporations, provided them the authority to destroy aca provisions they did not support. aca is weak. should price and trump make the system worse for more u.s. citizens, they risk a counter move, led by millennials, to single payer structure that marginalizes or eliminates insurance company/corporate influence. paradox is a bitch. -g- i imagine millennials will let us old folks help them a bil. -g-
