The way Canadians pay for their health care is through a value added tax. It is a sales tax. I don't recall exactly how it is broken down, but the sales and health care tax comes to about 15%, if I remember correctly. And when we visit Canada, each time we make a purchase, we help pay for their health care since it is collected at the time of purchase. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it is FREE!

You also can get reimbursed for said taxes when you leave at the duty free shop right?

I know I had a rear end go bad in Woodstock,ON and when I left Ontario I applied to have the GST or PST can't remember which it was reimbursed.I got a check for like $350 a few months later.
