Universal health INSURANCE cost money here as well, premiums aint free and deductibles make health care nearly impossible to get Universal health care is expensive for the people. Money is collected from all citizens in the form of various taxation. Far higher personal tax than US citizens pay. Income Tax is federally 29 % for average workers then add another 48% of federal for provincial income tax. Sales tax in some provinces 14% plus another 5% GST on all purchases. then a home purchase tax Gas is $6.40 a us Gallon in BC around $3.50 of that is government tax . The tax is more than US people pay in total amerikans pay taxes on everything also????? License and liability on each of our trucks is over $15000 per year. Government owned auto insurance, license personal car $1400+ with perfect driving record An old car or pickup with only Liability just under $1000. Tax on launching your Boat into the water. If when on many lakes in BC there is a permit required (Tax) to stop anywhere on the lake shore to set up for the day so kids can run or picnic. The list is endless. They are even working on a taxing a private water well on your own property. Going to call it a Ground water tax. And there is long waiting times for many treatments. Many have died within this period. The advantage is by higher taxation you are paying constantly on an ongoing basis. Not being hit all of a sudden and there is no other health care premiums or fees. poor amerikans cant afford to go to doctors/hospitals as to the deductibles from O uncare death panelscoutesy of the heritage foundation I am not a socialist at heart by any means. But the US could do much better on health care for the people that it does. Costs will never come down without nationalization of hospitals. Making them at cost, profit neutral. But socialism for healthcare is the only solution, damn right
