Canada spends half as much on healthcare as the US but outcomes are at least as good and lifespans are longer. Americans –including most recently the state of Florida-- are keen to import cheaper drugs from our northern neighbor.

Should we import any of their other healthcare ideas while we’re at it?

O Canada, what can we learn from thee?
