    They’d lose more than that in health and retirement benefits.

    You were warned.

        I've heard this statistic about how Canada's per capita domestic product is lower than the lowest American state, Mississippi. I wonder if that's a tricky thing to compare, maybe having to do with health care industry expenses being included or excluded depending on whether it's privatized in a country. I doubt CA standard of living is lower than MS on average.

        Education is extremely important.

          There would be no reason for that. They have the funds and the programs already built. There is no reason that they can’t continue. States can have their own state run healthcare and retirement plans if they choose…

            I’ve also heard stories that some UEssers, we call U’alls (mostly from or residing in former secessionist states), also thInk Canadians live in teepees and igloos.

              Billboard Chris has an interesting proposal. Why don’t we just buy Canada? Offer every living Canadian resident $100K if they vote to become part of the US… That would be about $4 Trillion… A lot of money, but think of the resources!

              You'd only need to buy 51% of the votes. Maybe only pay the women to vote for it. That way, opposition to the plan would be misogynistic.

                    Canadian also pay a huge state (provincial) tax. American federal rates plus provincial rates would likely push effective tax rates for Canadians to above 50%.

                        Doesn’t work that way. If Inmove to Toronto tomorrow and fall ill my current provincial health care picks up the tab for the next six months at which time Ontario residency then comes into effect and Ontario insurance takes over. There are sometimes differentials between provinces that need to covered out of pocket. As well as exemptions for some categories of seniors.

                          That’s still essentially irrelevant. The individual Canadian States could easily allow reciprocity within their individual state health systems while excluding states that do not have single payer. If a resident would move from one of the original 50 states, they would be required to maintain COBRA or independent health insurance until a predetermined amount of time established by your province/states. Now, the pain would be if you moved to another state that didn’t have Single Payer and you then had to acquire insurance…

                          The interesting thing to me would be to see How many new states would introduce Single Payer systems. I’ve always wondered what has prevented a large liberal state like California from introducing their own Single Payer system.

                          The other interesting thing to see would be migration. Would the new states see a large influx of new residents?

                            But now that you brought it up, what are the rates like for the uncovered? If I was visiting Alberta, and had a sudden acute appendicitis, I’m sure I would get a surgery and care, but how exactly would that work? My insurance but out of network? Or would I be completely on the hook?

                              Sorry but I am not m going any further down this road. You have been corrected and the remainder, as you say, is irrelevant.

                              No part of what you republocrats are discussing is going to happen. Canada will remain sovereign and under Westminster Parliamentary governance.

                                There seems to be some sentiment against making Canada the 51st.

                                It might be easier to just take a few good provinces, and then let the others just catch up over time.

                                  There seems to be some sentiment against making Canada the 51st.

                                  It might be easier to just take a few good provinces, and then let the others just catch up over time.

                                  A far simpler solution would be for the US to ditch its pretentions of being a real country, and re-join Great Britain. You'd get to share head of state with Canada and everything.

                                  Go on, you know you want it.

                                    A real king might be fun.

                                    Ragnar Lothbrok, Elvis Presley or Brian Boru for example

                                          Really? Sentiment, you say. I would call it something else.

                                          It might be easier to just take a few good provinces, and then let the others just catch up over time.

                                          Might easier if idiots such as you shut up since you have nothing to say on the matter any way.
