How aboot that Obamacare! Why health reform won’t turn us into Canada

My job at the Washington Post is to write about health policy, which on most days is fantastic. Except for today: It’s Canada Day!  I mostly just want to write about our neighbors to the North (and my home and native land).

Consider this piece a bit of a compromise. It’s a chance to explore a burning question I’m sure you anticipate just as eagerly as Canada anticipates one day reclaiming the Stanley Cup: Will Obamacare make the American health care system more like Canada? Let’s get right to it.

Canada guarantees government-sponsored health insurance for all citizens. Our government-sponsored systems are about to get a lot bigger, but not universal.
