I don't see how you can expect the results of a universal health care program to be the same, when two things are vastly different.
First of all, the 270 million MORE people that the US has to look after, and secondly, the fact that the dumbass Democrats want to push through a FEDERAL system.
Last time I checked, each province in Canada looks after their own health care.
The US government can't get Social Security right without wasting billions, they can't manage a war properly without wasting billions, and they can't even regulate the banking industry without LOOSING billions.
And you seriously think that they can run a federally mandated universal health care program any better?

Yes they do, but they have to do so within the mandate of meeting the requirements as specified by the Canada Health Act.
Now you can choose your means of delivery of health care as long as you meet that mandate.
You can also choose a means of delivery that does not meet the mandate of the Canada Health Act, you do have that perogative. However, at that point in time, the province is on its own for funding and will not qualify for health transfer payments from the Feds.
