Very few people choose to go from the United States to Canada [which has a single payer healthcare system] for their health care. Don’t you have the idea that—

Tom Geoghegan, Illinois 5th Cong. Dist. Dem. Primary Candidate: That’s not true. That is not true, Jeff. [Watch Geoghegan here]

Jeff Berkowitz: You have a lot of people crossing over from Detroit and going to Canada [to purchase health care]?

Tom Geoghegan (D-Chicago), 5th CD Candidate: I see plenty of ads in the buses now—You know, if you can’t go to Canada, please come to us for healthcare. I have friends who live in Europe who would never come back to the United States for healthcare.
