How much does the 'average' Canadian pay in a year for public health care?
About $5,789 — but it depends on what you think 'average' means. What you’ll have more trouble doing is deciding whether that spending represents a good valueHealth care is perhaps Canada’s defining obsession. As a nation, we crow about it and complain about it. We deify Tommy Douglas, rage about wait times, fret over private clinics and fight campaigns on minute points of privatization.
But for all the endless studies, Royal Commissions and political bloviating, it can be hard to know how much Canadians actually pay for health care, not as a nation, but as individuals.

If you spent $6,000 a year for an Obamacare insurance plan, you'd get really good health insurance. That's like $500 a month.
Poor people in Canada spend $0 on health care. Poor people in America get Medicaid and spend anywhere from $0 to a couple of hundred.
I'm insured through my job and pay $40 a month for the 7 of us. We have a $10 deductible on doctors visits, prescriptions, etc. I would not like Canadian health insurance. It's way too expensive.
Would you like Canadian health insurance?
