Obama also lied when he said "you can keep your current health plan."
He then flip flopped and said he was misquoted. So he's forcing a really bad system on people.
Too many idiots think of "free healthcare" as some magic thing where no one pays for anything and EVERYTHING is covered.
That's bullshit. In Canada, your income taxes go towards their "free healthcare" program (it even says so on the Government of Canada site), and it doesn't even cover everything. It really only covers certain drugs, check ups on the doctor, and some tests. The rest you need a healthcare plan through a company or your employer.
On top of that, Tommy Douglas, the founder of the NDP in Canada and introduced medicare in Canada, had to balance the budget when he was the Premier of Saskatchewan. He had to balance a huge debt left over by the previous Liberal government and created a budget surplus. That's the only time he decided to bring in universal healthcare, when he had a surplus to play with, because he knew it would be expensive and someone had to pay for it.
One of my relatives moved to Indiana in 2000. She claimed under the American system, before Obamacare, she paid less in health care costs, cause she is only paying for things she and her family needed and they found a really good doctor to help with my cousin's allergies and other health problems. Hell in Canada, I had to go to a doctor's unlicensed practice (he has a licensed practice too somewhere) to get certain tests that had to be sent to the States. He found a ton of problems with me and helped me a lot.
As for the "State lines" Marco Rubio doesn't know about, as stated here, if companies were allowed to compete across the entire country, prices would go down. Guess what? Trump is right about that. In Canada, companies are not restricted to provinces. They can offer coverage nationwide. Sunlife offers their insurance nationwide, Scotiabank (through their ScotiaLife insurance company), and other companies.
