Isn't it amazing that virtually everything we have is produced by the private sector, powered by profit. It works. So why not in health care. 

Concentrating on low cost leads to our situation in health care. excellent front end, poor availability. The US medical system is the best in the world. US Government failed miserably in connecting the medical system to the poor. 

Often it is stated that there are 44 million American without health care insurance. That is tremendous. It means that 15% of Americans do not have insurance. 85% do. Thus if Canada went for private health care, the taxpayer would not have to carry 85% of Canadians. What a reduction in health care budget!

US health care could be best in the world by a Guaranteed Annual Income FOR THE POOR. Only 15% of Americans. Canada would need to privatize and provide a Guaranteed Annual Income or some other mechanism to provide for the poor. Huge reduction in taxpayer health care costs would pay for Guaranteed Annual Inc.
