A family of four in the States, if they are insured, pony up more than 11 grand a year for health insurance. That's a pretty hefty chunk of change and probably should be taken into account when comparing Canada to the US.
I've also heard that you pay less taxes living in Alberta than you would in any US state, but that was for the very wealthy (hockey players) and I think it came from Kevin Lowe so it may or may not be true.
