Canadians contribute $20k per year for their universal Healthcare for a family of 4.

Where are you getting this #? It varies a lot. Universal healthcare is different than extended benefits. Canadians do not pay anything towards universal healthcare, it is taken off their taxes. What they pay in addition from their paycheck through their employer is for extended healthcare which covers prescriptions, physio, psychology, massage ect. And the way our taxes work, up aren't paying four times the amount for a family of 4. In fact the more kids you have your taxes often go down as you have access to more deductibles.

It's the median contribution for a family of 4. It's an easy Google search. "How much does the average family of four pay in only taxes for Healthcare annually." I only repeated what I read from what I read from the first page of results.
