I can assure you I pay no more taxes than most US citizens. With business exemptions and writeoffs I have gotten a refund every year for the past 9 years consistently. People in the higher brackets are paying in the 40 percentile range. As someone in the US who grossed over $500K last year whate % they paid in taxes, the answer will surprise you.
That is simply a retarded argument when comparing health care systems.
The real fact comes out in examples. Take my mother for example... she had an extended stay in the hospital a few years ago. Two months to be exact, lots of tests, lots of therapies etc. When she was wheeled down to the front door on the day of her discharge she was handed NO bill of any kind.
Tell me... how much would a 2 month stay cost in your typical US medical facility?
Argument over as far as I'm concerned.
