U.S. Healthcare Spending On Track To Hit $10,000 Per Person This Year
Does that include their tax burden?
Didnt think so.
it includes what Canadian tax payers pay for their healthcare, which was on average $12k a year per family unit according to the Title of this thread. I am presuming that is the total cost of what these families spend on it, and the total avg cost their government spends on it, per household....but that I am not certain....
And the extra links show what we in the USA spend on Health Care, per person, which on average is $10k per person, a year....
We pay around $7200 a year through Blue Cross and it's top notch healthcare.
I've had cancer surgery,hip replacement,back surgery and some major oral surgery over the last four years and it didnt cost a dime out of pocket other than insurance payments.
That is some amazing health insurance. No co-pays. No minimums, no maximums.
For $7200 a year?
You do realize that almost no Americans other than Congressman have health insurance that good- right?
