I pay about 28% tax effectively all in and have never had to even think about health care. Add to that the $32 dollars per pay check (twice a month) I pay for extended care and I have %100 percent drugs, vision care and dental for myself and my spouse as well as chiropractic/massage/homeopathy etc.
It may be a high tax amount relatively, but it is nice not having to stress about something so major as health care, and nice to know that catastrophic health issues won't leave me with staggering bills if it does happen.
