Ummm when was the last time you had a job ha ha ha there has been no deduction off paychecks for years now...they say that the "employer" pays for it. In Ontario we pay EHT...employers health tax...based on overall payroll. So your not getting paid as much as you "might" be able to but the expense is bore by the employer on your behalf. Not entirely sure about the other provinces.

Of note, a good employment offer always includes a drug/dental plan. Again paid for on behalf of the employee. Usually costs a chunk of change...somewhere around 12000 a year per employee. It beefs up the medical service you get, pays for most of your drugs (otherwise you get generic drugs you can afford to pay for) and pays for dental and eye glasses etc.
