Take this into account. There are many, many people in this country that cannot afford healthcare insurance.
Also many people in this country who cannot get work or maintain work due to poor health who cannot afford the surgeries or medications in order to maintain health.
The cost of healthcare is rising faster than inflation. (go to www.bls.gov) for these stats.
Finally, take into account that Canada has no national debt, and has nationalized healthcare. They also won a Toyota plant over the U.S, primarily because Toyota would not have to pay for pensions, or healthcare insurance in Canada.
More and more companies (GM and Delphi for starters) are reducing healthcare coverage for their employees and retirees due to the rising costs of healthcare.
So, are we making the right decision on not having some form of nationalized healthcare available here in the U.S.?
