At least for those taxes, one gets somewhat free healthcare. I’d rather pay higher taxes and get access to a solid public healthcare system, rather than relying on the expensive private care in the states.
- humanlion87 3y agoThe healthcare system is not as solid as one might think. Getting family doctors in certain provinces is almost impossible - the waiting lists are months to years now. Seeing specialists, again 6-12 months wait time. If you are dying, yes you will get good care at the ER. But anything less urgent, you have to wait for hours to be seen. There is an acute shortage of doctors and nurses. And there is no proper solution being put forward by politicians. Some of them are focused on gutting the public healthcare system so that private players can move in and reap profits.
