The average Canadian family pays about 48 percent of its income in
taxes
each year,

The author didn't say. However, the point is that *I* don't have to pay a
major portion of my income for *your* bad health habits.
That incentivizes me to stay healthy, since I know if I get
sick, I have to pay for it or die. In Canada, there's no impetus to care
for
onesself because if you get sick, the government pays for everything...by
taking from everyone else to cover your bad health.
That's wrong. Personal responsibility is the best way, always.
None of it matters a whit in a country that forbids a private individual
from obtaining private medical insurance
and forces them into the public
system. That's the essence of uncaring socialism.
I'll stick with the US system, thanks. At least here, I can get whatever
health care I need when I need it, without asking the permission of the
government.

What a MAROON!

Er, no, I've never been a slave, much less an escaped slave of the Spanish.
