Canada had a slightly higher cost of living than US. But we are a very very big country with low population density, so logistics are expensive. Health care costs about 50/month if you have income. Simple. Cost never enters into medical decisions. .(Some pharmaceuticals are a problem - expensive, if you have special needs.)

"Cost never enters into medical decisions."

From a patient perspective or system perspective?

"Health care costs about 50/month if you have income."

That's what is billed. What do the systems actually cost on a per patient basis adjusted for population risks (like obesity)?
