Also, you have only to look at Australia to see why we Americans hold on to our gun rights.

States that have tried forms of universal health care end up spending staggering portions of their state budget on it. You'll note that Canada not only has high taxes, but they also have a VAT style scheme on top of it.

Health care in Canada is dealt with provincially as Myke said. I know this for a fact. I was not able to go to the doctor's because BC medical did not believe I still existed because I forgot to update my after moving. I had to reapply for MSP or pay to go to the doctors.
