I am not so sure that would work. I do not know how much you know about Medicare but doctors in the US are starting tom say no to people covered by medicare unless they have a private policy supplement. The reason for this is that Medicare cuts their fees so much some proceedures actually cost them money or they break even. If that happpens here then our docs, Canadian docs etc. will follow the money.
You seem very honest in your posts so hear is the truth.
We can not afford to give everyone healthcare. We do not nor can we get the money unless they raise everyones taxes through the roof. It is politically popular to say "tax only the rich" but they do not have enough money to cover everyone.We need reform not another system. If they would reform Medicare and Medicaid by putting in new computer systems they could both save billieos in fraud and also capture data that could show how they may be able to get a handle on future costs. That would actually be the way the private sector would do it as they like to get it right and make a profit.
The answer would be no. The reason is similar to "cash for clunkers " if the Government does not subsidize the cost, there is not enough money coming in (medicare premiums) to pay the claims. It is so under funded.
