In Canada we pay similar NET Personal Taxes (Business Tax is much less than the US) to those in the States yet we have Free Public Health Care for small monthly premiums of about $40 per month.
Those on low incomes don't pay the monthly premiums. We get taken care of by either our personal Doctors or the Hospitals (some good some not so good) but as good as most of the UK, EU & US Hospitals.
In the US you may pay slightly less Personal Taxes but if you get seriously sick your on your own and you need to have at least $5 Mill Ca$h or go Bankrupt trying to pay for Health Care.
For Profit Health Care can not work for the majority it's something that needs to be provided like Roads to the public regardless of social status or ca$h on the Bank.
