Chuck,
We need to find a way that everyone has access to healthcare insurance,
but Canada is not a system we want to emulate.

People need to figure out how they are going to pay for their own health
care. I have to pay for mine. In fact I usually end up spending more
that $12,000 per year out of pocket for mine and my family's health care.

Socialized or single payer systems are just a fast track to rationing of
health care.

$12k a year?? You must be one sickly SOB!

That's about the price of decent but not terrific individually purchased
health insurance for a fairly healthy couple with one or two kids.

How much do you pay up in Canuckastan? $12k is a little high, but for a
person over 50 you will pay probably $1100 month for insurance. For a
younger family, will be maybe $600 with a smaller deductible.

That $12K works out like this:
$2600 for my cost of the mediacal, dental and vision insurance
$10,000 for my out of pocket expenses for co-pays, and items not covered
by insurance. Braces don't come free, prescription drugs don't come free.

Trust me - you don'tpay as much as I do by a long shot.

When you mentioned that last September during our over the border business,
you almost floored me.
If I lived down there with that expense facing me...I'd have to bend over
and kiss my ass goodbye

So far, it's included in the layers of federal/provincial taxes. People
can take out Blue cross etc for dental. drugs etc.
Since I'm still 'drug free' I just piggy back on my wife's retirement
medical insurance (re dental & new eyeglasses every second year or
so).....costs her $90.00 a month but used to be free for all the retirees up
till just before she left.
In 7 years when I hit 65 I'll go on the provincial pharmacare program.......
costs $400.00 per year with a modest co-pay.

But the question is how much does it cost you. Those huge tax levies for
health insurance are also a cost.
