Here's another way to look at the healthcare situation in this country.

I pay at least $14560 a year as a self employed person. A Canadian pays nothing for healthcare. I do not know how much the Canadian government collects in taxes from each citizen in that country for health insurance, but I'm willing to bet it is not $14560 a year. So I start every year of my life behind any Canadian citizen money wise.

1. You left out the difference in $$ would probably go into growing you r

business or even hiring another employee - too many don't understand exactly how little money we small business owners make when it's all said and done

2. Yes, they have a romanticized view.

The United States is not in any way, shape, or form, entrepreneur or small business friendly. The confusion lies in the fact it is Wall Street Big Business friendly which people do not understand is totally different.

3. Good post, except "A Canadian pays nothing for healthcare. "

I also don't think it's $14560 a year, but please don't say they pay nothing. They do, in their taxes, as you said.
