The HMOs are the major problem with the US healthcare. Their administrative costs are out of this world. If the government could just step in with their own alternative for everyone or insert some regulations for HMOs like in other countries (Germany) then things would start to improve.
People in Canada shouldn't feel that great anyways. The US has the worst healthcare out of developed countries, with Canada following as the 2nd worst. In no other developed country do you have to wait 2 years for certain appointments or surgical procedures.
