      - I wonder if my 4k figure below is just the public spending then. - Reagen May 9, 09:47

    - (income taxes, to clarify.) -- nm - Andie May 9, 09:41
  - per captial health care spending is ~$4000 per year, and about 70% of that is public spending, if that helps. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 09:40 11

        per individual, as best as I can tell. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 09:46 2
        
        that's spending, right? not what the individuals pay? -- nm - Andie May 9, 09:47 1
        
        right. but it would be a starting point if you were to calculate an annual health "bill" to Canadians. - Reagen May 9, 09:51
