Many prefer it. But many will be unable to ever afford it. These are ordinary working people who's jobs are essential to the economy. I believe that basic medical care is a right of every citizen. I don't believe it comes down to a matter of economics. I think its a matter of right and wrong.

While basic care is in theory available to all Canadians, in practice it's not unless you're willing to wait an unreasonable length of time to get it. Even having private insurance or very deep pockets doesn't help much.
