It never stops. If you do not make a lot of money your premium in taxes is small. The system in Canada is pro rated to some extent. Basically 100 percent coverage for almost everything. Plus you can draw a paycheck for the recovery if needed. In effect for over fifty years.


The American propaganda has really left a load on most their population. Even after fifty years. Medical bills even with private insurance can be signifigant. Plus many pay signifigantly premiums and still get copays.


I took a young lady in this morning. She just presents her health card. They diagnose her with a test. The prescription is only about a third of the American cost. In her case the total is covered even for the prescription.
