18. The government takes care of health care in Canada

I have supplemental health insurance through my employer but every Canadian has health care. My employer pays my MSP fees, too. If he didn't, I'd pay about $50 a month. Some provinces, I believe, do not have MSP fees.

Our health care is subsidized by the gov't through taxes. It is a less complicated system than the US has.

I have to say I am very happy with the Canadian system. I've never had long waits and the two times I've been to an emergency room I have never seen a bill or had to deal with insurance. I hope the US gets a similar system, rather than mandated insurance for all.
