Unlike the bloated hmo system that monster that the US has created. I have my problems with universal health care, but all in all it works pretty well. I don't have to worry about going broke because of an accident or an unforseen illness. I lived in England and that system is a hybrid that works really well. When you go into a private hospital you even get a wine list and the private insurance is affordable.
As for taxes, yup we do pay em and I do hate em. But it we do have a pretty fair distribution of the wealth. It doesn't take a lot of money to get into the top 5 per cent of earners in Canada.
As for trickle down.....it doesn't work. The money flees offshore.
