Thirty dollars vs. $100. That’s the difference between the cost of seeing a family doctor in Canada and seeing one in the United States. That $100 is paying for the extra number of people it takes in your average physician’s practice to process the dizzying amount of paperwork required by the health insurance companies. Take out that health insurance middleman, you take out that extra layer of administration, and costs will go down. It’s really that simple.
