I see a lot of this stemming from people's total ignorance of Canada's government controlled health care system, which the media hasn't helped with either. People are too dumb or lazy to research things on their own, so when I news agency takes 3 seconds to repeatedly say something like "Canada has free health care, why shouldn't we?", then that's all people will latch onto. What most aren't going to realize (until it's too late!) is that you don't just walk into a Canadian doctor's office, say "I'm sick" and get treated right away. From what I've read in several different articles over the years is that you wait in looooong lines, finally get to see a doctor and say "I'm sick", and they say, "ok, how sick are you?". The issue is then quickly analyzed and you're given your return date to be treated based on case load and urgency, which I've heard can easily be 2 weeks.
Now add to that being told you need to go to the doctorb less often for
routine checkups and it makes me
Then add to that being
forced to have health care no matter what and it almost makes me wanna go live in a hut in the woods
