it's cheaper.
I didn't say they have HC all figured out nor did I say HC should be cheap - though it shouldn't be as expensive as it is in the US and by a big dollar amount.
If anything, you're pointing out some anecdotal mumbo-jumbo that no Canadian I know would say or has said. I also didn't say Canadians don't come to the US to shop because they do but not because the prices are any better (outside of discounted items which might be actually on sale).
Fair enough - the better part of thirty years with the majority of my immediate family still there. I lived in two places, on rural, one not.
Again, HC in the US sucks and it's extremely expensive and disproportionately so.
So no, I believe you have neither thought HC through vis a vis single payer system and US corporate HC. Nor do I believe you ever had a substantive conversation on HC with a Canadian.
