Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y’alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.

    Their point was addressing the "$0.00" you quoted. If you're in Canada, and you pay taxes, some of your taxes go toward the healthcare that everyone benefits from, even if you didn't have to pay anything out of pocket when receiving services. So even if you indirectly pay $0.01 in healthcare taxes, then it would not come out to "infinity percent more".
