The others, either they want some care that aren't essential to their health,

Who decides what is essential to an individual's health? In Canada is it his or her physician? If it is not the person's physician, who makes the decision about what is essential to their health? The government? If so, I have a BIG problem with that.

they doesn't want to wait their turn

If one is having a heart attack, waiting one's turn means that, in all probability, one will be dead. Problem solved.

or they just have too much money in their pocket ;)

And who decides what is too much money for an individual? If one works hard, why shouldn't one be compensated with what you call "too much money in their pocket" so that they can send their children to better schools, fly business first instead of economy class or take more luxurious vacations? Or do you think that the hard-working individual's money should be taken away from him or her and given to someone else who, perhaps, does not work as hard? I guarantee you that if you do that, no one will be working very hard for very much longer.

Working mean that if I'm hurt or sick, I will be treated, independently of the amount of money I have in my bank account or the coverage of my insurance.

I thought that in Canada (unlike the UK) that the individual did not have the option of private health insurance - that the NHS is the only insurance provider. Aside from that, does it also mean that you will be treated in a timely fashion even if your illness is not life threatening. Or, does it mean that, even if you are in excruciating pain every second of every day that you may have to wait up to a year if your illness is not life threatening?

Yes I do keep more than 50% of what I earn. But then, you have to look at how you define "earn". To me, "earn" mean the amount of money printed on my paycheck. Not the gross amount.

Sorry, but you are wrong here. The amount that you earn is the gross amount. The amount the the government takes away from you is the difference between the gross and net amounts.

I see it like the price to pay for all the services I get and to makehts and to make sure that the roads are in good shape my part for the society.

I never said that I thought I did not have to pay any taxes. I am happy to pay my fair share for police and fire protection, for street lighting and so on . I am not happy to have the money that I earn re-distributed to deadbeats who don't want to work as hard as I do.

Waiting line != Not working. No waiting line may mean that the system isn't accessible enough.

I have absolutely no idea what you are mean by this.

Is our system perfect? No. Far from it. But we can continue to improve it and I still prefer it (by far) to the one you have now.

I am certain that this is the case and would not expect anything else. You mentioned elsewhere that you are in your mid 30's. You have been raised under a socialist system your entire life and that is your frame of reference.
