It takes a BOOMIG free market economy to pay for all these expensive socialist programs. The 40% taxes you mention is that just income taxes, or all taxes? I suspect we  in the U.S. pay more than 40% total taxes, income, sales, road use taxes, fuel taxes, property taxes, standing on my lawn taxes, etc. I think if you would investigate further you would find that total taxes is much more than that? I agree our healthcare/ health insurance system should be looked at closely, and has a lot of room for improvement. Finding politicians that don't like BRIBES from big health related Corpirations, and will do what is best for the American People, is not going to be easy! We have spent conciderable time in Canada, a great country, and people, that have many social programs, including socialized medine, They also have what is called value added taxes on EVERYTHING! The taxes are added at the source, kinda like our fuel taxes are here. EVERYTHING except Rx drugs, is at least twice as expensive in Canada as the US. Canadians that live close enough to the border, come to the U.S. and buy everything but Rx drugs, Americans cross the border to buy Rx. drugs. Many Canadians, that can afford to, come to the U.S. for medical treatment, I suspect they carry U.S. health Insurance even though they already paying for socialized medicine through taxes! Health care, drugs, hospitals personal, etc. COST MONEY, no matter how it is handled, the only choice we have is, do we allow the government to handle this ,or do we the people do it?</p></blockquote><p></p>
