Interestingly, America could fund a Canadian style healthcare system, covering everyone, using _just_ the existing federal healthcare spending (around 2 trillion), completely eliminating the need for private sector spending on healthcare (around 1 trillion). No need to raise taxes. Employers and individuals save a ton of money. The economy strengthens and everyone in the country gets coverage. As always, that we don't have healthcare for everyone is a political problem, not a spending problem.
