Here's the scary thing though . . . . . administratively, Canada and most other publicly funded health systems are about two or three times more efficient with dollars than the USA system where governments do not set pricing levels. The USA spends lots of money on healthcare with far less effect per person.

Yup, they get paid for every appointment. It's a scam. That is scary for the US, but we need to remember that comparing our spending to the US is one of the very few metrics that shows positively for our system.
