Well John Maynard Keynes why don't you find somewhere to cut from the US Budget and we'll get talking.
I'd cut across the board. Social Security, military, unemployment. Fuck em all.
I'm sure at that point we'd have enough to be positive for the year, pay off some debt and maybe implement some semblance of Canadian healthcare policy. Don't you dare raise taxes though. Even the Canadians are lowering taxes. (Checked their 2011 budget)

Cutting military would do it.
>14th biggest GDP per Capita in the world
>Biggest spending in military
Wouldnt those billions of dollars be useful in your ailing educational system and helping the growing number of people under the poverty line. But unless America decides to cut their overseas military spending, which they most likely wont, then the only choice is to raise taxes since cutting unemployment to solve unemployment is complete stupidness

This doesn't mean a single thing. Look at biggest GDP per capita countries; mostly tiny countries and anomalies. I'd say we're doing pretty solidly here in Murrika. Either way, the fundamental thought is wrong. Canada's system isn't objectively better. Its easier to access for everyone, but harder to snag a seat in the doctor's office if you have something bugging you and are willing to put your clams down to get your worries cleared up. Its plain to see that the medical advancements in the U.S. (pharmaceuticals for one) are much greater than that of Canada. Not to mention the fact that it is very possible to get [insurance] coverage here, you just need to have the right mind to get it before you need to use it. Like I've said before, there's no free lunch in the real world. The money for your treatments have to come from someones wallet.
And personally, I'd rather not be the one paying. Call me an asshole. I'll see how well your medicare goes on the commune.
