It does cost roughly $300/month for the average Canadian. If you make $30,000/year, between $3000 and $5000 in taxes will be health care related depending on your province. If you average it out at $4000/year, that's $40,000 over 10 years and $200,000 over 50 years(not including inflation). This is only for a citizen making 30k/year, the average salary is much higher.
The problem with the health care system in either country is not the government, it's the people. Neither system is financially equipped to handle the load. The only way to resolve the health care issue in either country are for it's citizens to change their habits. Healthy eating and fitness will always be cheaper than health care.
