Quote:Federal tax rates for 2020
15% on the first $48,535 of taxable income, plus
20.5% on the next $48,534 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over 48,535 up to $97,069), plus
26% on the next $53,404 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over $97,069 up to $150,473), plus
29% on the next $63,895 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over 150,473 up to $214,368), plus
33% of taxable income over $214,368

If not for free healthcare, I probably would have died from cancer, as my family wouldn't have had enough money for my appointments, treatments, surgery and tests.

How much is an MRI, CT Scan, radiation treatment, surgery and a night at hospital, morphine, anesthetic, etc., etc.?

In the States, probably in the tens of thousands. My parents wouldn't have been able to afford it and at the time, there wouldn't have even been enough Equity in the home to take out a second mortgage/ELOC, so there's a good chance I wouldn't be here nowadays.

So yes, even if they take an extra 2 grand a year more in taxes than in the States, I'll take the extra 10-20 years of life, than the money you get from tax savings (if you have any savings).
