Different countries have unique features in their health care system. Some are programmed to cater better to the needs of the rural people while some are better in emergency and urgent conditions. Most of the experts believe that the Canadian Health Care facilities are among the best in the world. Even then, people have a lot of ill formed myths about this particular facility.

Firstly, the biggest concern in the people’s mind is the tax that they have to pay.  On paper, Canadian taxes are higher than taxes in the United States, but, the people of Canada get a number of facilities which basically neutralizes the effects. They have cheaper higher education, family allowance and a lot of other things. Overall, while an American looses about 18.9 per cent of his income to tax while a Canadian looses 19 per cent. The difference is not as drastic as the people perceive it to be.

People believe that this facility is a lot about paper work and that a huge chink of money is lost on paperwork and other related work. It is actually not so. On comparison to the United States, we find a startling result. In the US more than 30 per cent of every dollar spent goes into paper work and other miscellaneous activities while in Canada it is just about 1 per cent. Actually US have the most bureaucratic health care system in the world. Canada follows a single paper system which is very effective and cost efficient. Thus it minimizes the expenses incurred.
