Canadians are also a bit hypocritical on the subject.
They pay very high sales taxes of 15% or more to support their health care system. But they are not at all shy about coming to the US to do their shopping and then smuggle things home.
When I lived in Michigan they used to crash the malls every weekend. Michigan’s sales tax was 4% at the time.
The Canadian health care delays aren’t just a nuisance, they can be fatal. And you will never get an accurate cost of the system as there are hidden costs such as government infrastructure around the hospitals, and the cost of heavily subsidized nursing and medical programs that can be attributed to government departments other than the Department of Health. As someone mentioned above, a majority of working canadians also have insurance for items not covered by the government (usually jointly funded by the employee and employer) i.e. prescription drugs, semi-private or private hospital bed, medical assistive devices, dental care. If the majority of Canadians want subsidized healthcare that’s their decision. My biggest concern is that they prohibit private medical care and hospitals. Even the communist regimes of China and Vietnam permit private health care.
