The US Republicans
have continually expressed their distaste the Canadian Health Care system.
Because it is paid for by all and covers all they try to bend it into a welfare system.
U.S. health care spending grew 3.9 percent
in 2017, reaching $3.5 trillion or $10,739 per person. As a share of the
nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for
17.9 percent. Dec 11, 2018
With their high
expense, there is close to 50% of
Americans who have no coverage! Canada's
lower costs cover 100% of our people.
Here is an example
of a google search which will turn up the numbers. Some show the tweak upwards when Trump diced the Obama Care plan.
