I think you're talking about federal spending. The Canadian federal government spends $15.3 billion / 38.25 million people = $401 per capita. Provinces spend $217 billion / 328.25 million = $5677.68 per capita. I'm talking about the total cost of socialised medicine, not just federal costs.

I'm a UK Taxpayer. About 80% of the NHS is funded via general taxation, 18% from national insurance. There's no line on my tax statement saying how much I personally paid toward public health but £182bn / 67m people = £2703 per capita.

In 2012 Canadian taxpayers paid $4037 for universal health care and spent $1726 on private care. US taxpayers spent $4153 for non-universal health care (medicare, medicaid, Federal employees) and $4692 on private care. I can't find more recent data.

My mistake. I didn't see it here, thought we didn't have it.

Dad worked hard his entire life. His work was a core part of his identity. I assumed he'd keep working till the day he dropped dead, hands still gripping the microscope.

Dad retired last year. He's in the Montana Badlands with a paleontology group digging up dinosaur bones. Living his best life.
