Given the net migration of doctors south over the past few decades, I would have said historically the answer is obvious. Pick up any Canadian newspaper and there is a daily article about the patient who had to go south to the States to obtain care. As Canada moves incrementally to allow private insurance, it may be the better place shortly. I don’t know.

And yet they still have the gall to claim that it will SAVE money?

that is an absolute joke, and the article did a good job of exposing that ridiculous logic.

Universal health care is a practical goal that can be accomplished, but no country on Earth with any kind of universal system has the same kind of scope of what Cali is proposing. Its fiscally unsustainable.
