>OK so putting aside this detriment : "The government rations spending, which also leads to lower costs even if the quality of the system. And Canada's proximity to the US offers some citizens a payable substitute for health care which increases the country's mortality rate."

That quote doesn't make sense. You ignore that our life expectancy is higher and infant mortality rate is lower.

>According to that link 16.2% of government revenue is spent on health care. According to http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/individuals/faq/taxrates-e.html, the minimum income to garner a 22% income tax is $36379, where the first $36378 is taxed at 15.25%.

>As an example, let's say that you make $54567, which is halfway between the 15.25% and 22% brackets.
> $36378*15.25% : $5547.65
>+ $18189*22% : $4001.58

>Multiplied by 16.2% = $1546.98
>Divided by 12 months leaves us with $128.92/mo you are paying into a system that you claim to only pay $36 for. This doesn't include any other revenue that the government takes in which you also pay (ie sales tax, capital gains, property taxes).

You can't include my tax portion, but then disregard yours.
