....Also, think of all the hydrocarbons the Canadians would be burning up, flying around the world looking for efficient, non-government run health care answers.......boggles the mind eh ??? Are promises of impossible freebies making you think like a true liberal ? You are better than that.....Don`t let the socialists (Hillary) con you....You know better.

Private doctors will still be sought after and allowed for those who can afford them...
Do your research instead of just falsely claiming that she is a socialist.
Besides, when the Repubs get through with their ammendments to it, it will just be a slight reform of Insurance that doesn't do anything in particular...

Sounds greater valuable than the VA. i will have self belief they'd furnish a nationwide well being care while they get a working veteran's well being care gadget. Us veteran's have already been promised well being care that we are being denied. We wait 6 months for a typical surgeon's pass to, as much as 3 years to be sure a expert. And we worked, fought and suffered to earn our well being care. in spite of the undeniable fact that it nonetheless isn't there as quickly as we elect it. And Hillary elect to inflict this horror on the the remainder of the country? I say shop the ensures you have already made till now you pass making any new one which you won't be able to maintain.

Let me tell you about the Canadian Health Care system since you apparently know little about it. My wife is Canadian and she is a doctor... (she moved to America to make more money). She studied medicine in Canada and then did a residency in the United States. Both programs were challenging but neither was more advanced than the other.
Her internship in Toronto had more advanced equipment that what she had in her residency in the US. That isn't to say that Canadian resources were better it just spoke of the university hospital in Totronto having better facilities than the university that she did her residency in America. Both systems have great care.
The other thing is that her entire family is in Canada and anytime someone gets sick there (her parents are elderly) she is not nervous about their care there and jumps on a plane to bring them to America... that's ridiculous. Her mother recently had to have cataract surgery... she had to wait 4 weeks before she could get the surgery.... she also had to drive 4 hours to the nearest facility because they live in far north Ontario in a city of 800 people (its a small mining town with only a general hospital,,, this would be the same in parts of Nevada). The Canadian government paid for her travel expenses and her hotel room when she waited for the surgery... a hotel room, not a gurney in a hopsital hallway. She spent three nights in moderate luxury and she did not spend a dime... granted, she had to wait 4 weeks for a non-emergency surgery but I can guarantee that it was worth it to wait than pay the in-patient copays and deductible.
Learn a few things about the Canadian health care system before you shoot your mouth off. I have about 100 stories like this one but I think you can get my point. Canada's healthcare is certainly not perfect but we can learn a few things about how it works.... and I would certainly entrust my health and my family's health to a Canadian doctor the same as I would to a American.

There are problems with both countries health care systems. I honestly am not aware of thousands of Canadians lining up at the boarder for American health care. Same as I am not aware of thousands of Canadians wanting to enter America illegally.

Canadians have private health care, too. all the socialist countries do. All the richer people get private health care.
This is a legitimate argument against socialized medicine and statistics of health in other countries... yet you appear to be unashamedly unaware of it.

Jim Sock is right on this one. You would not want to be in Canada if you had an emergency, or if you needed good doctor for an intricate surgery. Most Canadians who live near the border paractice medicine here, Nurses and doctors.
The problem would be where would we go. The very rich will be able to get good doctors that won't accept Hillary care. A lot of docs now are very discriminate in the insurance they accept.

The Canadians will just go to France... Oh, wait, they already have a good health care system unlike this country.

canadians coming here for health care is no different than americans going to europe or canada for a procedure not offered here, this is more right wing propaganda.
btw - i'm undecided on the health care issue right now, but against hillary's plan

Canada only can provide routine care. Complicated and unique procedures are sent to the US. Part of their system relies on the proximity to the US. If the US folds up and goes Hillary, where will either of us go?
Canada's next closest neighbor is Russia. Good luck with that.
Ours is Mexico. Nuff said.
