Yes, but IIRC there isn't a similar system of transfer payments to ensure that American citizens have comparable care throughout the country; that's tough enough to negotiate with 10 premiers, and doing so with 50 governors just sounds unmanagably complex. (Not to mention smacking too much of teh ebil soshulism.)

-- Steve also likes that his system doesn't have to worry nearly as much about "in-network" and "out of network" providers; a benefit of the single-payer insurance scheme that's often overlooked.
