If correct, this was made in 1866. Is it still active today, and if so why would the US let Canada have free healthcare when the US people can't?

in the early 1860's Americans wanted to annex us badly .
back then we were not a country, but a lose band of territories.

More than anything else I believe it was the wish of America to annex us ,that ultimately pushed us to make our own country and enact the British North America ACT.1867

Lucky for us we shrugged them off

Today Americans look North and see pristine habitat,resource wealth,and Dollar signs.

The American Govt post Civil War believed Canada would not make it as a country.
Ironic isn't it that we now look south at a country on the verge of Economic collapse.
none the less we will be together soon good neighbors
