It's wild when you see the actual cost per person, and the compare that to the US systems cost per person ( $12,000), and still somehow see people here arguing for a for profit system.

If we doubled our healthcare payments per person, something tells me we would have much better service and outcomes than we currently do, and still be below the US system on a per capita basis. Wild.
