I think you have it backwards. The US pays 15% GDP for health care,
Canada @ 10%. As I have said before, in the global marketplace, that is a
major disadvantage.

And where to you get "half of my income"? Canada's tax structure isn't
that much different than the US.

The province of Alberta probably compares well against most states. Low
provincial income tax and no provincial sales tax. Just the opposite here.
