I'm not snidely smearing anything. I'm saying what is good and what is bad about it, and pointing out it's not free, we pay for it in taxes - on average $13,300

I'm not snidely smearing anything. I'm saying what is good and what is bad about it, and pointing out it's not free, we pay for it in taxes - on average $13,300[1] per household per year. Both Canada and the US have suboptimal systems that are dysfunctional in different ways. I'd rather the Canadian system if those are the only two options. It's a false dichotomy of course. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/studies/health-care https://www.fraserinstitute.org/studies/health-care
