Yeah, there's definitely some things to consider here. Despite all the plusses of universal health care which others have already gone into - many people in Canada go to the US to get tests done faster because they can just pay for them, sometimes you're stuck waiting months.
The US is also pretty much the world capital for a number of drug development and medical research areas simply because it's much more profitable to do there - taking away that profitability may have a negative impact on Healthcare advancement - not just in the US but world wide.
Some kind of balance needs to be reached here. I thought Obamacare went a lot in the right direction, but it seems that's a big mess of its own.
- DanBC 10y agoI'm under the impression that Canada disallows private care. That doesn't have to be the case. You could have a system like the UK with both private and public care. If you want to skip the queue you pay for it.
- problems 10y agoYeah, something like that might be a totally reasonable solution. There's lots of options to discuss to get better public and private care, but discussions on them are so partisan and bogged down that nothing is likely to get done.
