Given the fact that Canada's present universal single payer health care system for ALL of our citizens costs 30% less per capita than present USA governmental health care spending on its citizens costs....AND achieves better results in national health standards than the USA system at LESS cost, I am puzzled as to why the American system does not try to reduce its own medicare costs by adopting a health care system exactly like Canada's! ;-)

Could it be because it would threaten the huge profits of large privately-owned health insurance and pharmaceutical companies? Could it be because the American politicians have been influenced (bought) by those companies?

Hmmm...ummm...gosh! Whaddya think?
