Opening up drug sales between borders would lower the cost of drugs immediately. It's insane that we can't buy the same exact drug from Canada that we buy from the United States.

I also agree with you on the healthcare thing. This in-between crap isn't working.

I also don't think you can actually have a fully private health care system. There is no incentive to sell health insurance to someone with a chronic condition. Who is going to sell insurance to the kid who lost the genetic lottery and got cancer? Who is going to sell insurance to an 80 year old man? And if people can't afford it, do doctors just let people die in the waiting room?
