So, the graph is based off per capita data. But it compares all of Canada to a place that is one of the most expensive places to live and has high standard of living costs.

Who ever created the chart has an obvious agenda. Congratulations on posting facts that have no real bearing or meaning.

Here's another graft for you, the main point being the US claims to have the best medical system in the world but it's just a huge rip off as the American people are not getting much value for there health dollars. The claim that a free market health system is better is bogus and with the current Trillion dollar deficit it could be a good time to dump the current system and put in a leaner and more effective universal health care regime. The claim that counties who have universal health care are under huge tax burden is also bunk, fact is tax rates in Canada and the USA are virtually identical, maybe only slightly higher cost of living and a few percentage points more in tax dollar is not a big price for providing health based on need instead of wealth. What would Jesus do ;) That usually works on conservatives but they never seem to actually do what Jesus would actually do! Ironic:)
