Oh no my taxes are being spent to save lives?! The horror!!
That isn't contradictory with what that person said.
Things have costs, even things that are free at point-of-service. Often, those costs are worth it. It's not as if they said that any use of tax money for any purpose is a horror.
This might be a wild take, but your taxes shouldn't be subject to profiteering just because it's to save lives. They should instead, at a minimum, be subject to reasonable price caps to combat racketeering.
Edit: Especially when Canada is only vulnerable to it in the first place thanks to neoliberal policies privatizing Connaught Labs, gutting their research and quality, yet still somehow increasing prices.
