Right people in charge IS the key. Unfortunately, the system that is supposed to make that happen is broken too.

Provincial governments in Canada have guidelines for heathcare set out by the feds,It doesn't matter what province you live in... your covered anywhere in Canada and it's free to
any amount. Yes our taxes are a little higher because of this fact but every citizen in our land can sleep at night knowing that there is no suffering from the poor in case they are sick and or an unfortunate accident lands you in the hospital.
In the USA it doesn't matter what state you live in, if you get hurt in a car accident in NY and live in Colorado you better have private insurance or you might wish they didn't fix you. By definition that is a federal problem.
Obama has tried but he quickly learned the greed and power that the private healthcare companies have in the USA.
In the end the USA healthcare system is a somewhat piramide scheme and should be deemed illegal as it steals from the healthy and feeds an extremely small percentage of the needy.
