4 Money Problems That Obama Can't Fix

massive subsidies from exporting oil? What about all the years when oil was $10/bbl? $30/bbl? Health care in Tuktayuktuk would be (is) so expensive... who would provide it under an American system? If it was provided, who could use it? Canadian health care is necessary for geographic reasons. What we save on all the paperwork and bureaucracy of the American system, we can spend on health care for small northern towns. For all the rhetoric about socialism etc. the Canadian system beats the American system hands down on efficiency. It is an economic trade off that provides basic health care across a large land space in the most efficient manner that we can manage at this time. What isn't efficient is the transparency in our government. I don't think anyone would be capable of seeing money directly placed from oil to health care.
