The cost of doing business in some North American locations, such as the United
States and Mexico, can be very high if your workforce needs private healthcare
coverage. While many Canadians complain about high taxes and the cost of
public healthcare, some companies have decided to maintain their operations in
Canada because of the lower cost of health care benefits for their employees.
Since the late 1980s, companies like Toyota, Ford and General Motors have
been saying that they want to keep manufacturing in Canada because of the
lower cost of healthcare and other public services and infrastructure. For
example, in 1988, Toyota Canada indicated that the lower cost of health care in
Canada was a significant factor in the 1988 decision to build a new Lexus plant in
Cambridge Ontario. (Krugman) This essay will explore the benefits of a publicly
funded health care system for attracting businesses to Canada.
