Actually Rod, Canada has one of the most expensive healthcare programs among developed nations according to the Fraiser Institute based on 2009 numbers. http://www.fraserinstitute.org/research-news/news/display.aspx?id=18232 In gross numbers yours runs about 13% GDP and ours runs about 17% GDP using 2012 numbers. I'm also seeing numbers that say your system is running a half billion dollar deficit at least. I understand Alberta alone has a projected billion dollar deficit. That is no more sustainable than any other program stuck in a deficit.
