All Americans, regardless of political party, want access to timely, high-quality health care.
Canada has chosen the latter route, and at one of the most recent debates among Democratic presidential candidates, Bernie Sanders once again touted its government-run health care system as a model for America.
Alas, Sanders' sanitized version of Canadian health care doesn't remotely fit the facts.
Keep in mind these are only the beginning of the financial hits from "Medicare for All." Canada's public system does not cover many large health costs, from pharmaceuticals to nursing homes to dental and vision.
As a result, public health spending in Canada accounts for only 70% of total health spending.
Far from being a model of government-run health care, Canada serves as a warning of the unintended consequences of socialized medicine: high taxes, long waits, staff shortages, and substandard drugs and equipment.
In Washington today, there are very sound proposals on the table to reduce U.S. health care costs.
