No more private insurance companies sure saves a lot of administration money, right? And because we are such a creative and innovative people, we can fix all the things about the Canadian universal health care system that we don't like to make our system uniquely American. Perhaps we borrow evidence-based policies and programs from France, Cuba or Sweden. Finally, my tax dollars at work and no more fear of getting sick or our kids getting sick.

Excellent idea! If the idea could get framed in the media as a moral/ethical obligation it would make it very hard for Congress to say no.
