I was born in Canada the year nationalized health care started there (that was 1967 for you history buffs). It was well-funded and provided great care for a few decades. But medical inflation was out of control. By 1991, when I moved to the U.S., the medical plans started to get stripped down to the bare minimum.
Would it surprise you to know that today Canada has a thriving employee benefits market? Brokers sell multiple products and services that keep them busy and profitable. This growth hasnt been with medical plans instead, its come from services not covered by the national health plan.
