Foreigners COVERED

Respectfully, 80 % of Americans receive better care than Canadians, 20% don’t.

I can't let that one escape without comment. By most of the measures used to evaluate the quality of a nation's health, (life expectancy, infant mortality rates, obesity, cost per patient, etc., etc.) Canada ranks higher, or "better" if you wish, than does the USA. Using your figures, the 20% who don't receive better care must be pulling down the average.....doubtful....and the 80% with allegedly better health care must be really paying through the nose for it, because US healthcare costs are among the highest in the world. I suspect that the 80% must include unionized workers who have negotiated decent health benefits from their employers. Unfortunately, the percentage of the US workforce covered by collective agreements has been dropping for years - and the first victim of the elimination of a union is the healthcare plan they had previously negotiated.
