Absolutely, we pay for our "free" health care through taxes. It's only free if you don't pay taxes. Same goes for university tuition, it is subsidized by taxes.

Yes part of our high taxes are due to the "free health care".
However our taxes cover many other expenses as well like politicians expense accounts, lol.
One thing that many people outside of the country do not realize is that Canadians have to pay for prescriptions, some "elective" surgeries, and many other expenses related to health care.

All od us Canadians PAY for well being care, by potential of paying TAXES. earnings taxes, sales taxes, taxes on gasoline, alcohol and smokes, plus company taxes and export taxes. So that's not loose in any respect. some poorly knowledgeable Canadians assume, because of the fact they are not getting an actually bill from their physician, or the medical institution, that they don't seem to be procuring it. that may not genuine. all of us PAY FOR IT. the coolest component is that it is not related to employment, so if a individual looses their interest, they don't loose their well being care risk-free practices. all human beings is roofed here, in the event that they seem to be a citizen of Canada, or a criminal immigrant. the different considerable element of comprehend is that no person here may well be "decrease off " or denied scientific care, or land up asserting financial ruin, by way of scientific costs, that in basic terms would not take place in Canada, not purely like the country. How can we try this ? undemanding, no earnings motives, and no inner maximum scientific well being insurance companies, who're out to make a earnings on human beings's suffering. All of our medical doctors are coated interior this methodology, and their earning are regulated, and none of our hospitals are allowed to make income, purely "wreck even " . the effect ? We get the care we want , as quickly as we want it, at a cost it fairly is reasonable to all. the following day, i'll be having abdomen surgical operation in St Mikes medical institution in Toronto, the final component that I could undertaking approximately is the fee. i comprehend that it fairly is all coated by potential of OHIP ( The Ontario medical institution insurance ) until now I even get there.

I believe the taxes are higher because there are fewer of us than most countries, we are a diverse and very large country with a very small population/for size. Also our mean age is about 37 years,,
Health care is an important issue and I feel its wonderful it is free to all canadians,,although two tiered system has already been established, lets pray our health care remains sustainable and available.

Keep in mind that US citizens are subsidizing Canadian drug costs too. The Canadian government places price caps on prescription drugs - making US drugs more expensive.
