Things are clearly so much better with how they're run right now.

all you have to do is look at Canada to see clearly what a disaster it will be.

...Canadians are, in general, more satisfied with their health care system than we (Americans) are with ours

There are many, many reasons why Americans might be more dissatisfied, yet an opinion poll does not make an idea good or bad.

But I have not observed that to be the case.

Anyway, Americans are not Canadians, so it really is comparing apples and maple syrup.

...and while I can't provide an exhaustive one, when we pay the highest per capita costs for a healthcare system and get nearly the poorest outcomes of any Western nation, there is a LOT of room for improvement. On the face of it, we're paying a lot for poor quality.

I also think that looking at Canada as a model with a sense of dread, is as you say, comparing apples to maple syrup. It's a false dichotomy - it's either what we have, or this "disaster" north of the 49th.
