My contention about the financing of the health care system?
I used to live in Canada, and I travel there for business on a regular basis.
The next time you go up there, take a look at your hotel or restaurant receipt. The "GST" you see there is the 7% Goods and Services Tax that I referred to -- it is levied on everything you purchase. It is above and beyond any sales tax you also pay to a specific province -- in Quebec, for example, you pay the 7% GST in addition to a 9% provincial sales tax.
Add a 16% tax to almost everything you purchase, and ask yourself if you still think a single-payer system is a good idea.
