Sure they pay for it. It is called taxes, and it does come to thousands of dollars.

Yeah, instead US residents pay taxes so corporations can avoid them.

In America, instead of paying taxes for socialized healthcare, people pay 2 - 3 times more to corporations because it's the American way.

As a Canadian, I gladly fork over a few thousand a year to avoid tens to hundreds of thousands in one sitting should something horrible happen to mine/my family's health.
