It may be early in data development, but if you want to compare health care costs, this news story describes how Twin City “area residents compare the cost and quality of more than 350 health services from local, competing health care providers and select a care provider.”

Please reconcile how low income families to “pay no more than $238 monthly for insurance” while a Canadian family of four pays $108 ?

America may not be getting its best return on its health care dollar. So, if Canadian-style health care is to be option, there are concerns such as :

1. Canada’s health care system is “socialized medicine.”
2. Doctors are hurt financially by single-payer health care.
3. Wait times in Canada are horrendous.
4. You have to wait forever to get a family doctor.
5. You don’t get to choose your own doctor.
6. Canada’s care plan only covers the basics. You’re still on your own for any extras, including prescription drugs. And you still have to pay for it.
7. Canadian drugs are not the same.
8. Publicly-funded programs will inevitably lead to rationed health care, particularly for the elderly.
9. People won’t be responsible for their own health if they’re not being forced to pay for the consequences.
10. This all sounds great — but the taxes to cover it are just unaffordable. And besides, isn’t the system in bad financial shape?
