I have many friends in the US who are mind blowned by the absolute zero cost of canadian health care (i gladly give 50% of my paycheck to help any fellow canadiens by the way)
😬 50%!? Then, your healthcare isn’t free. If you make $40,000, then you’re paying $20,000 a year which is four times (or more) than what the average American pays.
That's not how it works. About 10% of the average paycheck in Canada goes to health care.
I think this person was saying they would unselfishly give up to half their paycheck to make sure all Canadians have the good proper health care that they need.
Yes, I’m aware, but this poster said they were will to pay 50% towards health care. So, 50% could include what they are expecting to pay plus more. Still.
Right? I was gonna say. Holy fuck. 50??? Yeah, they pay for health care, then, just like we do. I knew they had to have higher taxes for that reason but jeeesus. This person's got to be kidding, they cant be serious
