Is Quebec the Future of the U.S.?

Pajamas Media » Is Quebec the Future of the U.S.?
"But even if Quebec remains in the Canadian family, its future looks problematic.

It is the highest taxed jurisdiction on the North American continent, and taxes in general, value added or GST surtaxes, and user fees are waistlining out by the year.

Indeed, a new user fee will shortly be piled onto our single-payer medicare system, which is already prohibitively costly and seems almost totally dysfunctional.

Patients wait inordinately long before being treated, are often released prematurely, and some die on corridor gurneys.

For these undoubted benefits Quebec has earmarked approximately 40% of its program spending, which is, admittedly, a Canadian problem as well. (Americans, take heed, and remember, Michael Moore is a sicko liar.)"
