Using as inspiration, I can come up with a quick aapioximptron of average costs for Canadians. The report shows that 2008 per capita health insurance was around $5150. (2009 and 2010 expenses were projected to increase from that by $250/yr per capita) That works out to $430 per month of govt.-paid money per person. I'm not sure how can be on average as low as $50/month, or where the other $380/month comes from. (side note: The amount of Canadians' health care costs that are paid for with that govt money is steady at 70%, with the rest coming out of pocket.)I would like to think that for $430/person/month you could probably buy pretty good health insurance in America, especially if you exclude Rx drugs, to the point of free (no deductibles, no co-insurance, no out-of-pocket). If something like that existed in America for that cost, I wonder if Americans who could afford it would buy it for themselves
