As a canadian, I must say I am fairly happy with the health care that we get. Don't forget though, that health care is the domain here of the individual provinces, not the federal government. I cannot say that health care is any better or worse in other provinces compared to ours in Nova Scotia. That being said, if services are required in another province that Nova Scotia does not or cannot provide, the MSI program here pays for those services, and if treatment in the United States is approved, MSI will pay for up to what they would normally cover if that service was to have been done here. The other thing they they will not pay for however, is travel and family accomodation costs for the visit.
We do pay a fairly substantial tax to pay for health care services, but it's not a rob from the rich thing either. Everybody pays the same sales taxes, rich or poor, so if you earn more and buy more, then logically, you end up paying more. We pay a harmonized sales tax here of 13%. Not sure now how much is provincial and how much federal any more, but that's where we pay for health care. There are things like prescription drugs, physio, private rooms in hospitals, but I am lucky too in that I have a plan to cover those things outside of normal provincial care through my workplace, and the wife's workplace also. My work insurance covers eyeglasses, drugs, physio, chiropractic, and private room coverage when hospitalized, and a few other things also. My cost for those things are about $12 a month on a group plan, so it's not that bad. The wife gets hers for free.
