How does this compare in the US? What are you taxes like and do you keep a larger portion of your earnings, and if so, do you set it aside for health care?
Just a little note: the American government actually spends slightly more money on health care per capita than the Canadian one. So tax differences go to other things.

The US just really, really, REALLY sucks at getting bang for its buck when it comes to health care
