I lived in BC for 23 years. The Canadian medical plans in no way resemble the totalitarian agenda presented in Obamacare. I got a huge tax cut when I returned to the States in ’99 because BC Med’s low premiums are made up for by the taxman. An honest reform of health insurance would be to give competition across state lines and tort reform a chance. Overbilling by hospitals should also be curtailed, as a hospital bed shouldn’t cost $10,000 a day. Otherwise where will Canadians go when they can’t book a room in the maternity ward or need scare high tech treatments?
