@AftercastGames "“Health insurance is tied to employment, for some crazy reason.” Well, why don’t you google it if you don’t know. Spoiler alert: it’s because the government got involved." Like David, I'm also a Canadian, with government funded, universal healthcare and I'm completely baffled as to why the USA does not. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/health-care-system/canada-health-care-system-medicare/canada-health-act.html I do admit Canada's healthcare is not perfect by any stretch, but it is better than anything the US has tried.

@AftercastGames "But unfortunately, our Federal and local governments currently get to decide who can practice medicine, and who can sell insurance in my area." As a Canadian, I like the general idea of governments deciding who can practice medicine. We just had a massage therapist convicted of sexual assault on multiple charges over the years. He no longer gets to practise. Here's a dentist story: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-man-s-illegal-dental-practice-shut-down-1.1324570 As for who can sell "private insurance" in my area, that's not a relevant question for about 40% of Canadians as our universal systems automatically covers 100% of us. Here's a great link explaining our system: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/international-health-policy-center/countries/canada
