Here in the US, many people are clamoring for "medicare for all" or some other version of single-payer or government-monopolized medical care. Meanwhile, the Free Market medical Association is already proving how little medicine and surgery can cost with open pricing and consumer choice, even now with heavy regulation. If they had the same tax exemptions, and no barriers to entry from certificate of need laws, it could cost even less. I called one such provider today, and got good advice for free. Many Canadians come to the US to escape the delays and bureaucracy of Canadian healthcare. I'll always advocate robust private care over coercive state monopoly.
