We have a price-fixed market for drug companies in Canada? You have some references on that?

>- It stands to reason that a universal US system would have the same, if not worse, problems as those in Canada. Where will the desperate go without the US as a life-saving option?

Life-saving option? Our healthcare system is that bad?

>- Given the US government's ability to completely screw up everything it touches, it's likely that health care in America will get significantly worse which will lead to much higher levels of health tourism. With Canada as the obvious choice for US health tourists, will Canada be able to handle the influx?

I hope that we will prioritize canadians. Otherwise, you can always try India, China, etc.
