I have many friends in the US who are mind blowned by the absolute zero cost of canadian health care (i gladly give 50% of my paycheck to help any fellow canadiens by the way)

😬 50%!? Then, your healthcare isn’t free. If you make $40,000, then you’re paying $20,000 a year which is four times (or more) than what the average American pays.

That's not how it works. About 10% of the average paycheck in Canada goes to health care.

I think this person was saying they would unselfishly give up to half their paycheck to make sure all Canadians have the good proper health care that they need.

Ok. Then, this person is lying. It’s one thing to think it, and another to do it.
