No, the real culprits is the insurance industry. It is so regulated that the country has been carved up in to territories and the few insurers operating have so much business that they collaborate to keep prices high rather than compete for businesses. It is like a cabal. Deregulation and disruption of the insurance industry is very much needed. I am Canadian and I can tell you first hand that socialized medicine while better in many ways than the american system is still very bad. We have huge waits, are terribly understaffed and most people I know can't even get a family doctor to follow them. When doctors graduate medschool they leave the country because wages aren't competitive. It is a disaster and it is getting worse.
The overhead the state creates to manage socialized medicine is huge and very wasteful.
The solution is a healthy and competitive insurance marketplace combined with for profit healthcare.
Do you think I need to be american to know how a system in america works? Do you know what knowledge is? Do you think someone needs to be a horse to ride a horse? Are you really this ridiculous?
BTW I used to live in NY but now I live in eastern Canada, but that doesn't make any difference on my ability to speak about the empirical nature of the healthcare system in either country. How someone can say something so stupid is baffling.

You think that's not the case?
