While many Canadians proudly boast about our country’s "free" health
care, a new study has broken down exactly how much money in many tax
dollars go into the system each year.
According to a new report by the right-leaning Fraser Institute, the
average Canadian family will contribute $11,735 in taxes for public
health insurance in 2015.
Many Canadians underestimate the cost of health care for a number of
reasons, says study co-author Bacchus Barua, a senior economist with the
Fraser Institute’s Centre for Health Policy Studies.
