Comments on: Two-thirds of Americans support Medicare-for-all (#3 of 6) http://pnhp.org/blog/2009/12/09/two-thirds-support-3/ PNHP's official blog Tue, 15 May 2012 21:50:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: murphyj87 http://pnhp.org/blog/2009/12/09/two-thirds-support-3/comment-page-1/#comment-10358 murphyj87 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:32:25 +0000 http://pnhp.org/blog/?p=1068#comment-10358 As was noted, well over 90% of Canadians (varies from 92% to 97% depending on the poll) would never accept an American style insurance-run health care system. Any Canadian politician who would be stupid enough to even whisper that they wanted an American style health care system would not only be defeated, they would be obliterated to the point that their political career would be irretrievably over. The three main Canadian sports are hockey, curling, and griping about Canadian health care, but let anyone try to change the health care system from what we've had for 45 years and that person had better run in order to outrun the 30 million Canadians whom would try to kill them. That's part of the point, with a government funded system like we have, the people can can get the government to improve it. Americans have no way of getting the US health care system improved it in any way because only profit and shareholders count to the insurance companies that run the American health care system.
