I have already covered the tax situation in case you missed it, my total tax on an equivalent income was within $50 a year both in Ontario and Maryland.

Here is my simple answer Rob. In the US, healthcare is a for profit business. In the rest of the industrialized countries, it is a system based on shared costs.
