iM CDNian (Canadian). I pay $0 in health care premiums with a $0 deductible. Since I'm self-employed, I do believe I pay a 1.95% health care payroll tax on my earnings. What do you pay? While in the U.S. lately, I've had this discussion with many Americans. An American friend told me he use to pay $2,000+ monthly for a $0 deductible and a family of 5, but switched to a $1,000+ monthly for a $3,000 annual deductible per person. So, he pays $12,000+ per year and he's only convered after he exceeds the $3,000 deductible (per person). The $0 deductibe for $24,000 per year. Further, there's a usage fee of $20, so it really was a $20 deductible.
When CDNians get sick, they go to the doctor. No questions. Many CDNians who move south of the border, attempt to maintain their CDNian citizenship by living up here for 6 months. Why? The health care. Americans may joke that we have higher taxes, but at least I'm not paying $24,000 per year in health care.
So why do Americans not want the same system? The health care industry is afraid of government intervention. They enroll the Republicans to their cause and spread totally fake propaganda about Obama's health care legislation. If you want to pay $24,000 for health care, then that's your choice. You fool!
Personally, I admit to my vices and work on them. Now I live an awesome life. I'v been on vacation for two-three years and likely work more than 99%. You just have to get over yourself.
Only problem left is dealing with everybody else that hasn't made the same leap.
