Yes, but our 'extra taxes' pay for our entire system (or most of it). In the US you are still paying taxes for government healthcare (roughly GDP per person equal to our entire system) as well as paying for your own insurance for the rest of the system.

I'm not buying that Canada's system is an export killer, while the US system is not. Quite the reverse is my intuition, since many companies locate here for our educated, medicated workforce, and they do not have the hassles of the American system.

Is this where I

?
