They pass on those expenses by taxing the hell out of people.

Not quite right ,Sonny.

The income base in Canada is about 30% on the first 60000.00. Each adult is exempt on the first 7500. Then you can deduct 18% or 13,500., which is ever is the lessor for your Registered Retirement Plan.

Your RSP is self administered, and guaranteed by the bank.

It earns interest tax free, until you are 69 years old. At that time you pay tax on whatever amount you take out.

In Alberta I pay about 45.00 a month, which covers everything. When I had a family of four, it was 220.00 every three months. You have to pay 25% of your drugs. up to 25.00 per prescription.As far as waiting to go to the hospital, you will have to wait for elective surgery.

You can call it what you want, but there isn't a better health care system in the world. The biggest amount of it is paid for by the Federal and Provincial Govts. This is merely giving the people back some of the taxes they have collected. Regards

"You can call it what you want, but there isn't a better health care system in the world."

Is that why many Canadians cross the border to see American doctors for things like life-saving cancer treatments and surgeries, for which they have been put on a months-long waiting list at home?
