Default Re: Canada's Health Care

Very nice touch Char - I'm sure they were quite pleased and surprised.

Very interesting discussion. I'm ONLY 55 and I'm wondering as I follow along here: when did my health expenses become the responsibility of others ? When I was a kid you went to the doctor and you paid on your way out. You took your prescription to the drugstore and paid cash after waiting 10 minutes. Done. When I say others some might say government but it's the same, no ?

Anyway when I talk to younger people at work I'm amazed at what the younger generation has been told that they are entitled to. I suppose if everyone agrees that it's worth the price in taxes, etc. that's one thing. But I don't see where people who would care to opt out have a choice.
