(14,202 posts)That is not a question. All you have to do is compare every other countries medical care expenses to the US. Canada it is half as much per capita.
And that is not the end of the upside. The arguably even greater benefit than financial is that everyone in the country is covered. Not 3O million more....everyone. Guaranteed from cradle to grave. For any ailment. Anywhere in the country the same basic service. Can you even comprehend the mental stress that takes away for a countries citizens? Can you see why Canada voted, as our "greatest Canadian" ever Tommy Douglas, the politician/preacher known as the 'father of medicare'?. Or why the London Olympic opening ceremonies started with a lengthy tribute to their National Health Service? I don't think some Americans can even comprehend, no thanks to your MSM, of what it brings OUTSIDE of even the financial equation. Social anxiety about your family's healthcare for life gone? So you can concentrate on other things? I really hope you get it one day.
