You might want to consider the fact that the US government healthcare spending per capita is greater than Canada's (and every other OECD country except Norway and the Netherlands), even with the huge private healthcare expenditures that are on top of that in the US (while Canada and other OECD countries have very small private expenditures in addition to the government costs.)
The US hybrid public-private hybrid system is by far the least efficient healthcare system in the developed world.
Even if you count tax costs alone and ignore the vast out-of-pocket private costs, you are still spending more on healthcare in the US than you would be in Canada.
