By the way, we've been insured under a high deductible plan with a health savings account.

To fund our HSA, we simply put the money we save on premiums in the HSA - the High Deductable plan is significantly less per month. After 2 years in this plan, we still have a nice positive balance in our HSA. That's how it works.
Then you must have some low cost doctors and hospitals. Even had we put away the $350/month each I would be in the street. the hospitals failed 'attempt' at treating my late wife came to over $250,000.

Because it would help citizens?

Then that could hardly be called "fixing" it. Why don't they just ask Trudeau for a copy of the SinglePayer Act of Parliament in Word format, then use Find and Replace to change 'Province' to 'State'?

Could lead to confusion since a lot of the words will show up as misspelled in US edition of MS Word .

Not our citizens since most cannot spell anyway, but MS Word.
But I bet Google Translate will work.
