Not quite.... doctors bill out per client to Medicare. They don't all make the same money. Were you in Canada or Russia?
Regardless of your finacial well being, race, colour or creed all Canadian's are entitled to equal care. That means the single mom with three kids can still get the medical care she requires. That's while paying roughly the same income taxes as her equivalent in the USA. So in fact in the USA YOU are paying out of pocket. Granted the wealthy can get quicker medical care in the USA than your average Canadian who may be required to wait for non-emergency care.
