Exactly. Many people have their thinking on this completely ass-backwards. I would rather pay a little bit higher taxes than have the high private health insurance rates that many americans do. One of my family members in recent years had a 2-month stay in hospital. In the good ol' USA that stay would have cost our family over $100k easy... but here, on the day she was discharged, they handed us no bill whatsoever. Zero. Nothing.
O Canada!
