And they love it ….. If the Canadian Conservative Party ran on a platform of repealing Single Payer they would not only lose , they would be run out of the country on a rail …….If Canadians become seriously ill . they are not forced to file for bankruptcy...They leave hospital without a bill ….Canadians are not forced to stay with a job they hate because their employer provides them good health insurance …..Obama is in favor of MFA … 8 months ago , Mayor Pete favored MFA …. …...Public Option does not work ……..Private Insurers will price out the high risk people they don't want to insure in the first place …...The tax payers will foot the bill ….We need the younger , healthy and wealthy people fully in to make this thing work ...That means MFA ….Forget the politics , the ideological divide and take up Math ………….
