Canada and other countries have health insurance for all so why wouldn't this work in the united states? It would work if you were willing to pay higher taxes, I am not talking a small increase. It would take a large increase. A system that may require a small tax increase is a national health care insurance. Just an expansion of medicare to those who make below a certain amount. As long as you have a job and if you choose to pay for it then you pay a tax on it. And if you make above a certain amount, you would have to pay a tax on the medicare system. Source(s): Just my thoughts Canadians pay lots and lots and lots of taxes to have socialised medecine. Thats why everything is expensive in Canada, and cheap in the U.S. Canada's public health care has many flaws. Right now many Canadians feel it is failing them. If you break your hip in canada, you can get a replacement procedure done for free. Sounds great doesn't it? What you don't hear about, is that in order to get the procedure done, the Canadian government puts you on a waiting list. Some people have to wait 3 years for their turn to get the procedure. As a result, a lot of private hospitals and clinics are popping up in Canada. Though the canadian government frowns upon them, their is a demand for private medecine because public health care cannot keep up with demand. Many people would rather pay to get treated immediately, rather than wait months or even years to get treated for free. Sorry that was such a long response. Ninja pirate, I don't have to do any research because I visit my grandparents in Vancouver every year. Gas prices in Canada are even more rediculous than in the U.S. A six pack of beer costs about $9 in the U.S, but that same 6 pack of beer will cost you $20 in Canada, due to their "vice taxes". Modified 1 year ago They'd rather spend the money on bombing other folks. Just a matter of preference, I guess. Note to the guy above: Canadians don't pay as much more taxes as you'd think - research it. And, although I admit our system has its flaws, it ensures access to medical care for those who need it, regardless of how much money they make. Modified 1 year ago Because the American public wants the best of both worlds, and that doesn't work. In Canada everyone has healthcare, but you often have to wait for procedures to be performed, sometimes for months. In the U.S. everyone is used to calling one day, seeing the doctor within the next week and scheduling a procedure for a couple of days later. They don't like to wait and a government run healthcare program patterned after the one in Canada would fail miserably here. Petitions would be passed around, picket lines would go out, politicians would be receiving tons of hate mail, it just isn't worth it. Everyone wants full coverage healthcare, but no one wants to give up anything to get it. No one is willing to make the sacrifice. |
