This is still the best idea for health care in the U.S. But do the numbers still hold, since this was made in 2008?

50% OF THEM WILL BE DX WITH: High blood pressure, serious heart conditions, diabetes.
This is the heart of the problem. 50% of all healthcare spending can be absolutely prevented. HTN, MIs and diabetes are unhealthy life style choices. Do to fast foods, excess fat and calorie intake, soda, smoking, alcohol and lack of exercise.
Why would anyone be forced to pay for someone's bad decisions and who would want the govt. to regulate that choice?

They don't. In a CTV News Survey last year, 91% of Canadians said their health care system is superior to the United States. 90% of Canadians live within 50 miles of the United States border. If they wanted to, they could come here easily, why do 91% of them feel this is not a good idea?
I want to get me some of that.
Single-payer NOW.

CONTINUED FROM PRIOR REPLY The kicker is the taxes make up only 23.15% which is much less than that extra 40% we currently pay to the wasteful private industry. It costs less because nobody needs to profit with single payer. We actually use the funds to pay for care, not dividends and CEO salaries and bonuses. I think I got it right.
