If I were a Canadian, I would trade....however I would make they trade by emigrating to the US(Prior to Obamacare). I would not pay the healthcare taxes the Canadians are paying.
But we pay less taxes than you as a rule.
When the Obamacare debate was raging, here we were treated to some real statistics. In the end, Americans of the same wage paid about the same rate of taxes AND medical health premiums that would have crippled me and most those I knew.
The fact remains, that yes, you do have the Cadillac of health care systems, and by far the most expensive. I have several times looked at moving to the US and had offers but in the end I would have been taking a pay cut to work in a larger market.
