Don't know haven't figured that one out yet.

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.

What is the overall tax percentage of a typical Canadian and an
American? I am not talking about GDP I am talking about whether 15 to 20
percent of my income, or more, is worth living an extra 2.65 years?

They GDP does not figure into this equation.
