And BTW, there are a lot of people in Canada who don't have such a perfect rose color opinion of the health care system up there. Let's face facts for a second, nothing is free so you and everyone else pays for your healthcare just like we all do. Secondly, your system many times causes delays and wait times that are unheard of in the US for people waiting to see a specialist. Because your healthcare system has limited the income of health care professionals (Doctors and surgeons) you lose a higher percentage of your med school college grads than the US does, they leave for better income in other places like the US.
Have you lived in Canada for an extended period of time? I haven't. But from everything I've read they would never ever switch from what they have to the US mode.
OTH, I have lived in Europe for several years and know beyond doubt they want no part of what the US has.

I lived in Nova Scotia for 4 years but never needed any serious medical care. I broke an arm once and got "free" treatment in a timely manor but the tax burden of living there was insane compare to what I got in return.
Of course it is, an extra d on a word normally means that the person typing knew nothing about what they were talking about... because a single misspelled 2 or 3 letter word is a great indicator of everything.

So? Try Europe. Then you will see what taxes are really like.
Look, there is no free ride anywhere. But there are better, more equitable modes of health insurance elsewhere than what the US has. And the citizens there like what they have. Contrary to the way a LOT of people in the US feel. If you don't have some form of health insurance you are SOL.
Nova Scotia is a nice place. My daughter graduated the university in Halifax.

No, it is an indicator of poor grammar and possibly less education.

I'm not interested in living in Europe in any way and it's not just because of the insane taxes.
