Surely the premium costs will be higher than the subsidy, so in some sense the headline is right, although I'm not quite sure what point it's trying to make. Health care costs money. In Canada in 2009, it cost $5452 per person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Canada#Economics

That's for actual health care (in Canada).

This is for insurance company payoffs, not actual money spent on health care, which will be a fraction of $6400 after they take their cut.
