Dear John,
Even if we don’t pay directly for medical services, Canadians pay a substantial amount of money for health care through a variety of taxes.
But because general government revenue — not a dedicated tax — funds Canada’s public health-care system, most Canadians are unaware of the true cost of health care.
A new Fraser Institute study out this week finds that a typical Canadian family of four will pay an estimated $15,039 for public health-care insurance this year.
The cost of healthcare for the average Canadian family has increased substantially over the last 25 years – and has risen more quickly than its income.
Learn more by checking out the full study here, and be sure to share it on social media.
Stay safe,
Niels Veldhuis
President
