Canadian chiming in here. Sorry, but it's just not true of at least Canada that the single payer&provider system is working or working well. We get better _average_ outcomes because we do some preventative work, but if you're really sick you get far better care in the US if you can afford it.
There's probably some nice middle ground around having a national preventative program (screening, weight loss, nutritionists etc), and allow insurance to cover "you're fucked" scenarios like Cancer, Heart attacks, car wrecks, Gun shot wounds etc.

- maerF0x0 3y agoNice attempt. Canadian, former resident of Canada (for decades), and lately in the USA on a visa. Plenty of connections and family in Canada who can vouch first hand for what I'm saying, both as patients and as care providers.
