I don't hear Canadians and Brits complain about spiraling healthcare costs.
I roll my eyes at all the BS excuses why single payer can't work in the US when it works just fine elsewhere.
People have to get over their fear of "government rationing" of healthcare. The market is itself a form of rationing, one based on the ability to pay, and which by it's very nature fucks over the poor.
That's odd because Canadians are in fact complaining about spiraling health care costs. It's really been quite a shit show for them over the past few years.
Then there are the waiting lists. Eric the Obtuse hasn't actually talked with anyone from Canada about the actual state of their health care system. Here is how it actually works:
