All Canadians have public health insurance. But private insurance exists in Canada and healthcare isn't free.
As a Canadian reporting on healthcare in the US, I've gained insight into the complicated and often misunderstood debate in the US over single-payer healthcare.
That changed six months ago, when I started writing about healthcare as a fellow for Business Insider and needed to choose a plan for the first time. But even Canada's healthcare system is not as socialized as some other systems. In the UK, the government finances healthcare and has the National Health Service providing health services that are essentially free to citizens. The British system is even more socialized than Canada's.
But it's paid largely by Canadian tax dollars. While there isn't a designated"healthcare tax," the latest data from the in 2017 found that on average a Canadian spends $6,604 in taxes for healthcare coverage. It's important to note that number changes depending on income. People with higher incomes pay higher taxes, which ends up covering families who earn less.
