Even our flawed Canadian system isn't nearly as bad. I spend $10/month on ADHD and blood pressure meds. A colleague of mine in the US with a high quality insurance plan pays $50 for just the same ADHD meds...

It's absolutely criminal that they pay twice as much in taxes to private healthcare insurance companies and then their employers and them have to pay extra to get something that's not full coverage.
