Where are the large federal government employee unions on the Trump Shutdown? Protesting statements are not enough. They and their families should be mass demonstrating and educating about the public harm in front of the White House. Or are they intimidated by the bully Trump? -R

In Canada, costs are controlled. Canada pays 10 percent of its GDP for its health care system, covering everyone. In the U.S., under Obamacare, costs continue to skyrocket. The U.S. currently pays 17.9 percent of its GDP and still doesn’t cover tens of millions of people.

In Canada, there are no complex hospital or doctor bills. In fact, usually you don’t even see a bill. In the United States, hospital and doctor bills are terribly complex, making it very difficult to discover the many costly overcharges or massive billing fraud.

In Canada, the health system is designed to put people, not profits, first. In the United States, Obamacare has done little to curb insurance industry profits and in fact has increased the concentrated insurance industry’s massive profits.
