Frank and Trump will have to forget their dream of a 51 st. State.

It would be nice to make Alaska a contiguous part of the US and I'm sure it would greatly improve of the medical care of all Canucks, you could also have hand guns as well as one language.

I think Tom would have been all for it.

Canada has less expensive medical care and everyone has medical coverage.
The results of the better medical care in Canada are confirmed by the following statistics:

Lifespan: 79.8 years USA versus 83.1 years Canada
Infant Mortality: 6.3/1,000 USA versus 5.0/1,000 Canada
Maternal Mortality: 33/100,000 versus 11/100,000 Canada
Bankruptcies: 66.5% USA versus 19% Canada due to medical bills

Most of the murders in Canada are due to the illegal smuggling of handguns from the USA.

Murder Rate: 4/100,000 USA versus 1.9/100,000 Canada
Home Ownership: 65.7% USA versus 66.5% Canada
American home owners average 46 years of age before they own a home now.

BUT, how long do you have to wait to get treatment for more complicated (or may be any) procedures.

The hand guns have to be illegal because your Gov't won't allow them. I'm sure there are lots of non murders with illegal US hand guns, too. It is not the gun that kills.

I love Canada and was going to immigrate there in 2002 but, you had to have money and jump threw a bunch of hoops, that is, unless I would have had a boy friend that I could move in with and then I could have moved right a way.

I'm more than half way to 82, so, maybe my trips to BC got me over the US lifespan Smiley

I received a triple bypass four days after the prescription was made.

I received stents within two weeks of them being prescribed.

It took three months to obtain a heart ablation surgery since my pacemaker and a lead needed to be replaced first since the battery was running out.

I received electrocardio shocks within a week of it being prescribed on four occasions to stabilize arrythmia.

Immediately booked into the hospital specialized for heart care for a week after a cardiac arrest.

No significant delays that would impact my health.

Yes there is a shortage of Doctors in Canada so people go to the Hospital Emergency to solve their problems instead of finding a Family Doctor. 

Fortunately the defunding of Obama Care in the USA is resulting in the closing of many rural hospitals. 
This has resulted in a major immigration of American Doctors to Canada which should alleviate our problems of not having enough doctors.
