   The problems with the Canadian healthcare system are not problems that are inherent to a single-payer Universal Healthcare System. They are related instead to the following :

   1) provincial versus federal
   2) Underfunded
   3) U.S. being right next door (Why work for 200k when you can work for 400k)

   Canada, because of the above and some other stupid laws, is the veritable go to whipping boy of the anti-UHC crowd. You don’t see them talking about Switzerland or other European countries. You only ever see Canada, Britain, and Massachusetts talked about as why one would not want UHC – they are also the three biggest failures of ‘Universal Health care’.(‘ ‘ added for Massachusetts because I wouldn’t even call that a UHC system)

   All single-payer really would do(from a consumer standpoint) is consolidate everyone into at least one standard plan. This means the largest savings since it is the largest possible risk pool. One can still purchase supplementary insurance in every system to tailor to your individual needs (With Canada being the strictest on what that insurance can entail)

   Is a website that pushes music which originated in “the hood” amongst poor people who are systematically denied health care by the “free market” model currently in place really trying to smear universal health care that would ensure basic health coverage for everybody?

   Hiptics.com is smearing anything. The video speaks for itself…as does the transcript.
