I would certainly like to see universal health care. Every other industrialized democracy in the world has done it, and we should, too. The system of tying your health insurance to your job is antiquated and works less efficiently in the modern economy. The biggest criticism of the Canadian system has always been there are some delays getting appointments, but there are plenty of delays in our system, too. We already have a very popular universal system in this country for those 65+, and we rarely hear anyone scream “socialism!” That system can be extended to everyone, and funded with the same money employers are currently spending to provide it and they would be happy to unload that responsibility and the administrative costs that go with it.
