I'm curious as to how much  you pay for medical insurance and what is 
the deductible? Also what would a senior pay for medical insurance. 

No system is perfect but you got to be pretty naive to believe the 
American system is any way superior to systems in other developed 
countries. In comparison to other developed countries the U.S.A. ranks 
first in infant mortality rates (actually worse than a lot of 3rd 
world countries). Per capita spending on health care is also about 30% 
higher in the U.S. than in Canada. Also Americans don't live longer.
I guess if your in the minority than can afford to pay for total 
health care then it DOESN'T matter ?

FLAME ON......

  Nope. Canadian taxpayers paid for it. It was *not* "free". "Free" to you

  Nope. Canadian taxpayers paid for it. It was *not* "free". "Free" to your
  father perhaps, but not to the millions of others who paid for it. 

  I always thought externalization of costs and internalization of benefits
  was something to be avoided. We read all the time about how polluters
  should pay for the costs of their pollution, rather than externalize those
  costs to the rest of us. Does the principle still apply when it comes to
  health care, or not?

Wrong.  The whole purpose of insurance is to bring down your cost
to your numerical expectation of your cost.  The idea is to lower
your risk, not to help cover others.  I don't buy insurance as a 
charity.
