[QUOTE="klein, post: 904030, member: 23950"] I guess that's the big difference between the US and the rest of the world. We pay for medicare indirectly from cradle to coffin. Yup, even diapers have GST on them, so does the coffin, and funeral expenses. A young kid doing a flyer route for some spare cash, then buying himself a bag of chips or a chocolate bar pays taxes (and a part of it to healthcare). The senior that wants to golf or gets gas, or just heats his home, has a phone, etc, still pays towards it. In the US, you only pay basically for 30 years, (at best), of your lifetime, and it's done. (sofar anyways), until no money is left for medicare. [/QUOTE]
