U.S. President Donald Trump says Canadians would have “much better” health coverage if Canada became the 51st state.
He made the remarks during a briefing in North Carolina, where he toured areas struck by Hurricane Helene on Friday.
“I would love to see Canada be the 51st state,” he said. “The Canadian citizens, if that happened, would get a very big tax cut – a tremendous tax cut – because they are very highly taxed.”
“They’d have much better health coverage. I think the people of Canada would like it,” said the president.
Pretty sure they’ve had a law against that for a few years now. I’m also fairly sure it’s a federal law.
Did the law act retroactively?
Doubtful. IDK for sure. Can’t do anything about old paid bills, but it’s useful to know for the future.
It’s the No Surprises Act if you want to look up info about it.
This may come as a surprise to you, but people have been having problems with the healthcare system for several decades, not just the last few years.
I have no idea what time his issue took place in. And what good does it do to talk about how things used to be rather than how they are now?
