Public and make it a % of the income?


In what fantasy world is that a good idea? Who pays for it? You think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until the government gets control of it, they will KILL it. If not by making it next to impossible to comply with regulations, then they will do so by overpaying a bunch of people to sit around and do nothing. Doctors will be in short supply because they will not get paid enough to make their time spent in college worth the pay out. Let's not forget about R&D, the government will not pay enough for research, as a result we will get fewer life saving drugs. The rich will go to countries where they can get real healthcare, while the poor get shafted. Socialized medical programs do not work. The UK has already made steps to move away from their socialized program because it does not work. Why would anybody in their right mind want something that has been a proven failure?

I do know its the fantasy world of Canada :P, probably other country too. You do have good points, but you may be exagerating the effect of those points. Even if your not exagerating, the problem is with the fact some arent happy with 300K a year, not with a public healthcare. I think its wrong to always based our actions on financial gain. Honestly, I dont care what it cost me if everyone in my society can live with the same medical threatment. It worth more then money.
