First, I'm American... and I have worked and paid taxes in Canada.
That chart seems to be missing your insurance costs/copays being added in... After all the Canadians health care cost is in those numbers, yours should be too.
How is the average american %'s looking now?

I'd rather choose to pay it then be raped in taxes and cost of living.

You don't have to pay out of pocket in Canada.. they will fly you to America, and fully cover the costs.
In the reverse, if you needed to fly to India for special care, YOU, have to pay out of pocket.
Canadians don't have copays... that's the $0 cost when they leave vs. you getting a bill.
