[QUOTE="klein, post: 1035927, member: 23950"] Considering the savings from a government healthcare system with only a 10% adminstration cost, compared to over 30% (USA), and no middle-man (insurance company) syphoning billions out of the system on profits (Canada's system is non per profit), also with lower drug costs by ordering in bulk at a set low price, and by setting caps on law suits regarding medical mal practice, it's half the price of the US style private per profit system. Most taxes collected to pay for healthcare in Canada are paid by smokers, drinkers and drivers. Added Tabacco and alcoholic taxes are extremely high, but those 2 items do costs our healthcare a lot, as it does in the US and worldwide - just here the users actually pay for it ! Considering when it's too old to get good healthcare, you ought to look at your own system first - you seem to die on average 5 years younger than being a Canadian ! I also assume the lesser money we spend on military & military action easily pays for our healthcare by itself. I hear no screaming of Romeny plans to spend rather another $2 Trillion anually on military spending than keeping medicare/medicaid alive or making sure every US citizen has health insurance protection. Isn't it already good enough to have military mighty to blow up the world 100 times over ? All in all Canadians have pride about our healthcare system up north, and yes, we see it as a human right to have it in place for each and every Canadian. [/QUOTE]
