The problem is that the U.S. health care system is hopelessly inefficient.
The U.S. spends more on health care than any other country. About twice as much per person compared to Canada, and half of that health care spending is by the government though existing programs.
The U.S. government (all levels of government combined) already spends more on health care per capita than the Canadian government spends per capita.
The money is there, the problem is that the U.S. is drifting closer to being an oligarchic kleptocracy and further away from being the capitalistic democracy that they assume they are.
