I hope this does not develop into a political debate, despite the topic. Please try to maintain a rational discussion - even though it might be personal.
For those worried about TVH and its recent happenings, or those who wring their hands over what they perceive to be poor access to physicians here in TV, or those who don't care for the local selection of physicians - these are the least of concerns in my opinion.
I have had several very large Canadian hospitals ask me to help them develop ways to generate income producing services; a group of German legislators request help in developing non-governmental programs, and watched the British NHS collapse upon itself. I helped another group of US hospitals find a way to care for Canadians who have alternative private insurance to provide them more timely care.
Instead, I suggest you consider the rules and regulations that exist here and are being developed in our country.
The link below will take you to an article that I hope you read. Universal healthcare is typically very heavily dominated by governmental fiat - whether part of a law or not. I believe Obamacare is the forefront of this effort in the US, and will continue to make changes most individuals find disagreeable.
This article should be particularly touching for couples who live here in TV. My wife and I celebrated our 47th anniversary this week. I will do whatever I can to eliminate the "pure governmental" option.
(I recognize that we have many wonderful Canadian seasonal residents in TV. IMO the US system of healthcare is second to none, but is being destroyed on a rapid basis.)
