Ben I'm talking about universal health care for 1/2 the cost of the broken system the USA has currently where not everyone is covered. It is not going to affect medical research at all if you guys implement the Canadian system in the USA. That's related to the pharmaceutical industry. I'm assuming you are referring to the generic drugs we use here. It's a completely different and separate issue.
As for your comments on our system here, I'm telling you your family is very unlucky to have had an experience like that. Our system is great and I never hear anyone here complaining about it, nor have I heard of anyone dying because of a long wait for care. I also feel that the health care we receive here is pretty top notch.
Like I said, universal health care is a partisan issue and anyone on the right of the spectrum there will vote against it vehemently based on their own principles and steadfast beliefs. These people will not waver or listen to any sort of reason.
Anyhow, what I have taken from our discussion is that the USA needs to somehow overhaul or revamp the way money is spent on social programs. With such a massive country and population it's going to take some real creativity to solve the problem. For you guys to spend more than we do here and have less to show for it tells me there is some type of corruption in the system down there. Too many palms getting greased.
