The Fraser Institute has released a study estimating the costs of Canadaâs government monopoly, a.k.a. single-payer health system. A typical Canadian family of four will pay $11,735 for public health care insurance in 2015.
Fact: This is a classic example of consumers being shielded from the true cost of health care. While itâs true that out-of-pocket costs can be as low as zero for the uninsured or just a small co-pay for insured patients, we know that most emergency room visits really costs an average of $1,233. Meanwhile, more affordable urgent care options cost an average of $60 for BCBSNC customers. Those ER costs pile up and are part of the reason that health care costs have been rising so much faster than inflation and salaries for the past decade.
