Libs Silent Over What’s Happening to Canadian Health Care

A “typical Canadian family of four will pay $12,057 for health care in 2017—an increase of nearly 70 percent over the last 20 years,” explained The Daily Caller, which dug into the Fraser report.

Over a $1,000 per month is hardly “free,” and the costs keep increasing. So do the wait times — and people often forget that having coverage on paper is not the same as receiving timely care.

“For all those tax dollars, there is still a long waiting list for a host of operations, both routine and urgent. Another Fraser Institute study recently revealed that 63,000 Canadians left the country in 2016 to seek medical assistance elsewhere — usually the U.S.,” explained the Caller.

Bacchus Barua, a senior economist at the institute, revealed that wait times for many medical procedures were approaching half a year.

That's $6,800 less than my typical family of four pays.

In the last 20 years my premiums have gone up 73%.

When I was stuck on Obamacare (MNCare) we would have seen a 120% increase in costs in a one year time period had I not taken a job with a company rather than do independent contracting. The system is broken.

I do business with several Canadian citizens who live in U.S. they all tell me their taxes in Canada (when you look at them in totality) are comparable to what they pay here.
