Maybe not, but I think it makes sense to still fight for it. Remember: Canada didn't get single-payer overnight, it took years and years to get in place. The first step was Saskatchewan subsidizing doctors because of a shortage. The idea spread to Alberta. It took almost 40 years, but things now are a hell of a lot better than they were back in the 1940s for Canadians. If the US takes until 2050 to get healthcare, I'm going to be there to see it.
