22. Love it --Medicare Part E for Everyone! I lived in Canada, had baby there

and the way it worked then in Nova Scotia in the '80's, Everyone paid into the province's insurance program, I think it was quarterly, based on his income. The same went for child care. If you needed child care and you were low income, you would pay an affordable amount based on you income and the rest was subsidized by the province. So easy and so fair to us newlyweds with a baby. We never saw a bill for health care, either, even when I was in the hospital having the baby.

I was visiting BC Canada more recently. I don't know about the regular payments into the program but do know they have high sales/gov't/service taxes on everything. This pays for the "free" health care, at least in part. I also think this is a fair system bc visitors pay into the system as well as residents. If guests need care while visiting, they can get it "free" and Canadians know the visitors pay into the system, too.
