You’re not sure what my point is? My point is that for most Americans they pay more and get less.
30% of American workers earn less than $12 and hour. Compare that to only 9% of Canadians working their minimum wage of ~$12.60 USD.
So a third of Americans are earning less than the absolute minimum earnings of a Canadian, and from that they are paying a comparable federal tax rate, but have to pay for health insurance and out of pocket copay to even see a doctor.
That’s just the people up to the threshold of the minimum Canadians make. Nearly half of US workers earn less than $15/ hour, so not much more. Less than 20% of Canadians make that little.
Most Americans are paid less, pay the same taxes, get no healthcare in return, but have to pay for private insurance AND still have to pay out of pocket for any medical visit.
