Yes, it is. Doing that would cause an economic collapse.

[/QUOTE]The whole concept of a National Healthcare system, whether it's for the elderly OR every citizen is not a Conservative concept to begin with. It's just that simple. Less expensive, more expensive makes no difference. It's not a Socially Conservative program and therefore cannot be part of a Fiscally Conservative system.[/QUOTE]

It conserves health; therefore it's conservative. In Canada the conservative party does support their Medicare system, so do the conservative parties of every other major country that has similar systems. It's only in the United States that opposing universal health care is somehow considered conservative. However, that's one of the many reasons the Republicans aren't really conservatives. They're plutocrats. There's a big, big difference.
 
Again, comparing a nation with one tenth the population and the same resource distibution is going to yield no useful conclusion - except that maybe it's easier to give more people what they want when you have less of them to serve.

We have states with more people than Canada as a nation.

Governments get their income from taxes, and the taxes are based on the income of the populace.

When you look at the median income and per capita income, both of which are naturally adjusted to population differences, you see that America drastically beats Canada in every category, making your argument false.
 
This is like which is better, AIDS or pancreatic cancer. Governments are a necessary evil.
