Positive about UCH
What can we learn from the Canadian healthcare system? Canada’s healthcare system offers advantages by minimizing out-of-pocket expenses for individuals and families. with this Canadians can receive an essential medical service without paying a heavy fee or deductibles. This is beneficial for groups in low-income families, seniors, and individuals who need recurring care. The system helps reduce the financial strain associated with the cost of healthcare and helps the citizen prioritize their health without the added worry about affordability. this healthcare design ensures all Canadian citizens, regardless of class, can have access to necessary medical services.

Increase of taxes
Increase of wait time
Bernie Sander's proposal of Medicare-for-all is a UHC bill that is estimated to cost around $30-40 trillion dollars over 10 years making it one of the largest federal increases of the budget, because of this “...the government would need to implement new financing mechanisms—such as raising existing taxes or introducing new ones, reducing certain spending, or issuing federal debt… ” (Britanniea, con #2) financing Bernie bill (Medicare-for-all) would require higher taxes from the middle class.
the single-payer health system with cost-sharing would increase the demand for the medical system. Because of this payment rate and the limited supply, it could lead to a longer wait time for appointments, surgeries, and emergency care, with some needs going unfulfilled. In other countries like Canada, patients had a wait time of about 20-52 weeks in 2017, while the U.K. had a wait time of 46 days for elective care with some being delayed for a year.

Challenges
High-cost (pharmaceutical )
the U.S. spends roughly about 469 billion dollars on pharmaceuticals annually, with this high cost, it is higher than in other countries where insulin can cost about $300 compared to $30 in Canada. Our current legislation prohibits Medicare from negotiating pharmaceutical pricing, limiting the control costs
Political and Social Resistance
Since the Affordable Care Act was implemented in 2010, there has a strong opposition from Republicans, who have voted to repeal it over 40 times. From what we know about the ACA there are some unsure American citizens about how well the law will impact them, unaware of state law decision-making there has been a division about the law, to the point where” Americans are now more likely to think the law will make things worse rather than better for their own families.”. There is also a lack of coverage for Medicaid expansion, about 50–70% don't know about what their state decision is.
