All you have to do is drive into a US hospital parking lot and count the number of Canadian license plates to recognize nationalizing the American health system will destroy the quality of the Canadian health system. They won't have anywhere to go for treatment.

Not only do the Canadians pay a 15% VAT for health, those that can afford the insurance premiums do so which allows them to come south of the border for their needs.

It is madness to think a national health care system will work. Just look at Medicare and Medicaid, then think of a national system as more of the same on steroids. Nationalized health is not free (unless your an illegal alien), we all will pay for it from some pocket.
