The USA should just turn Medicare into a full on Socialized health care like Canada has..

Medicare is the USA's socialized medical care for 60+ years old.. it should be for everyone.. all ages

Let me guess. Was it Walter who gave you the reddy?

Hi Walter.

Now Boomer, why would the US want to copy the Canadian model (which essentially goes too far in the opposite extreme) when studies show that a two-tiered system such as the ones in Europe (and which essentially avoid the extremes of Canada and the US) work better?

I think it's foolish for Canada to support our system just to be as different as we possibly can from the US as an end in itself.

...right it's too much to expect actual news from you isn't it.

Ps that green I gave you was an accident cliffy

Would it actually make any substantive difference if I said you 'appear to be' stupid?

...and you are worried about something Trump didn't do?

That's nutz!!!

Actually it is unlikely Obama had anything to do with job losses in the coal industry.

The French model is usually rated the best in the world.

So I'll make my argument again. Repeal Obamacare and leave it to the states. Let one state copy the French model, another the Japanese, have a few single-payers, some conservative "tax-credit" models, every old thing. Let each state decide, based on its distribution of medical services and the circumstances of its population, how to provide health care, and how to pay for it.

Why not? When you look at it objectively, the U.S. is about the size, in area and population of the core EU. Nobody complains about the EU having half a dozen different models, each taking into account local circumstances. Why anybody thinks a solution that would work for tiny, densely-populated Delaware or Rhode Island would necessarily work for Wyoming or Arizona, where the main problem isn't health care per se, it's transportation to the health care, is beyond me.
