Medical decisions in Canada are solely between patients and physicians with absolutely no government or other interference, as opposed to the insurance company bureaucrat which Amercans have between patient and physician in the US insurance-run health care system. The insurance takeover of the US health care system is bankrupting the nation. Having lived in the US for 7 years and used both Canadian and US systems, there is no doubt that Canada has far better health care than the US.

Republicans are puppets to big companies of all kinds, recently, medical insurance companies in particular. Thousands of US jobs a month are outsourced to Canada for mainly two reasons: 1) Canada actually has privacy laws, so most American medical records are kept Canada. 2) Canada has government funded single payer health care system, so there is no profit involved.

For health care that is.

American jobs are being out-sourced to Canada because the US pays twice as much per capita as Canada while the US has half the access, quality, and outcomes of Canada's.

Republican puppets and their insurance company puppet masters want to shift the blame from the major cost to companies, which is medical insurance premiums and continue the insurance takeover of the US health care system. Business is thriving in Canada because of our single payer health care system. As well, we Canadians have better health care than most Americans have.

Love it when this guy gets up and pontificates! You know, as a constituent of Mr. Burgess's horribly gerrymandered home district, I have to say that if he had over the past decade lifted even one pinkey finger to actually REPRESENT the voters in his district he might have accrued a little bit of credibility--instead he has consistently snubbed good sense and supported the interests of those who brought on the (second) bankruptcy of Western capitalism. His credibility as a US Rep is ZERO.

Anyway, Canadians will continue to welcome the many companies that choose Canada over the US because of astronomical US health care costs caused by corrupt insurance companies in the US. We'll arrange for them to sell thier products to you at a big profit since they choose Canada over the US because we have single payer health care, and so, we don't force exorbitant health costs on companies as the US does. That is why they choose Canada.

It will only be when you actually have a real and decent medical system that you will realize that those now with insurance-run & rationed health care have near third world health care. I've experienced both US & Canadian health care and Canadian health care is far superior for 100% of Canadians. We pity Americans who have insurance company bureaucrats making their medical decisions.

Government run programs pay over 90 cents for each dollar. Canadians would never accept the third party interference of insurance-run health care. 92% of Canadian favour the single payer system we have and would never accept the interference of insurance-run health care. Americans would be far better off to adopt a similar system.

The government run programs (Medicare & Medicaid) pay even less. Government bureaucrats in the M&M programs dictate even cheaper treatment and definitely do not provide the best. The Government is like the pot calling the kettle black. They are far worse than insurance companies & there are no appeal processes available. In the current system there are many ways to find the care necessary. If Gov takes over, there will be no appeals, no hope & it will cost much more. We don't want it.
