      Provide a source showing that it doesn’t cost Americans more, it should be super easy to do it if it’s real.

          Funny how you’re saying “Google is right there” and when we provide you the numbers of health care expenses per capita in the USA vs Canada that we find on Google you call us liars.

          Again, provide a source showing that healthcare spending per capita in the USA is lower than in Canada to prove that our sources are wrong, we’ve tried to find sources saying you’re right but only came up with sources stating the contrary… So… Help us!

          Gross vs net income isn’t what I’m asking, I’m asking you to show that the total spent per person is lower in the USA because that’s what you keep saying, privatized healthcare should cost less than public healthcare and we’re paying too much. If that’s the case the numbers should be clear, Americans should be spending less per capita than Canadians for healthcare.

              You never provided and actual evidence of a private system doing better, all you’re doing is talking about anecdotal evidence.

              Let me help you with a very basic stat:

              Life expectancy:

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy

              Canada is number 20, USA is number 55

              Infant mortality rate:

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_infant_and_under-five_mortality_rates

              Canada is number 38, USA is number 49 based on the World Bank, Canada is number 43, USA is number 55 based on the CIA World Fact Book (you know about the CIA right? The US agency…), Canada #42 vs USA #52 from 0-1 year old based on the UN

                  Also, you’re ignoring the actual numbers that include more than just your anecdotes and the numbers are clear, life expectancy in the USA is much lower than in Canada even for the first year after birth, which shouldn’t be the case if private healthcare was so much better, right?
