This is in response to the comment about waiting for coverage in Canada.  I have a group of friends from the Vancouver BC area.  One had to have surgery and did have to wait.  It was not life threatening and she did eventually have a successful surgery but it was not on demand.  I was also surprised when I asked my friends how much they paid in taxes they told me it was only something like 35%.
