Most of us who use the term "free healthcare" know it's not "free". But we understand it's a social cost that our taxes pay for over the course of our lives.

I suggest you do some math. 10,000 sounds like a bargain. And you probably won't get to use it! I find those that defend Canadian health care to the death and look down their noses at the American system usually have never received any other health care and don't really know the difference.
I think you should go for a ride-a-long with some ambulance drivers and see the clunk-heads chewing up your pay cheque every Friday and Saturday night.
There are up and downs in every system. To call Canada's health care free is simply wrong. It is not. It's not even cheap.
