Canadian workers are also $4 to $5 cheaper to employ partly thanks to the taxpayer-funded health-care system in Canada

So the Canadian taxpayers pay for Toyota's benefit pkg.

Depends on how you look at it. Toyota will pay a 1.9% payroll tax. Employers pay that tax , employees don't . Personal incomes over $20k and up pay to a max. of $600 a year.

The workers are the ones picking up the tab, through higher taxes to fund the healthcare. That $4 or $5 advantage over U.S. workers is probably true when comparing us with almost any other country.
