Reply #3: You touched on one of the worries some people express about the

Canadian system when you said:

"And, if something isn't available at the time somebody needs it, they will find a place here in the US to get it done, pronto, and it's paid for. THATS why Canadians come here for treatment."

So the concern here is that, if we had a Canadian system, then where would OUR safety valve be, if -- because of a strain on resources -- care wasn't available here when it was needed?

I support universal healthcare, and I would be happy if it were Medicare for all, but I'd like to know how to answer people who ask that question.
