As we've often noted, the ACA was always designed as a path to a single payer, nationalized health "care" scheme. And we've also noted many times that CanuckCare (seems to be a primary role model for that goal) isn't doing so well as a panacea of health care delivery.
"There’s just one problem: The Canadian model of universal coverage is failing."
The Canadian system is government funded, but delivered by what are essentially heavily-regulated private entities. And we really do mean "heavily regulated:"
"Canada’s government-controlled health-care system has become more restrictive than communist China’s."
Yikes.
And something else which was new to me: we've long known that private, supplemental health plans are available Up North©, but what we did not knoiw is that "it applies only to procedures and services that fall outside the CHA;" that is, onl;y foer things like dental, vision and prescription meds.
And, of course, it's going broke, as "it relies almost entirely on current taxpayers to subsidize the disproportionately large health-care needs of elderly Canadians in their final few years of life."
