LOL. Your sales tax is always over 12% and all the way up to 15% in other provinces. We pay WAY less OVERALL taxes than you. You guys get raped in taxes.

Why wouldn't they they be able to do that? If anything they have more choices, they can seek doctors in other countries, when you can't unless you want to pay out of pocket.
That's my whole point, if you want freedom of choice or need prompt care from a specialist you have to pay out of your pocket. On-top of paying absurd taxes for a shitty government run health care program. I pay for my own health care and I don't have to pay anything but my copay, ($25 office visits, $50 emergency care) to ANY doctor or specialist I want to see. I'd rather choose to pay it then be raped in taxes and cost of living.

You can buy premium insurance in Canada too...


It sounds more like you don't understand what socialized healthcare really is...
Sigh..
