I also want employers out of the system. Having said that, I want the damn government out of it as well.
This is the part I find hat few Americans understand about the Canadian system. The only government involvement is that they are the insurer and they negotiate drug prices. Frex one of Florence's BP meds cost over $600 for a 90 day supply here. Up there it was $275.

Other than that nothing else changed, pick your own practitioners, hospitals did not change ownership.

However if you like being screwed over stick with private insurance companies and an uncontrolled Big Pharma.
