Did I EVER say that UHC was free? Not once. In fact, I clearly stated the cost of health care in Canada, per capita, TOTAL. I compared it with the cost of health care in the USA, per capita, TOTAL, for the same year (2009). I don't want something for free. I want to pay a more reasonable amount for what I'm getting.
There are tons of comparisons of quality of the Canadian system vs. the American system, and Canada WINS in almost EVERY CATEGORY. The only category where they don't beat the pants off the USA is in cancer treatment.
Trust me, there's a wealth of data out there - wait times, patient outcomes, accessibility of care, total cost.
While you wait and see, people are going bankrupt for their health care in the USA, or being turned away because they lack health insurance. How long do you want to wait? The data is already available.
