I would be classified as a professional. Any job I would take would include health insurance. I could afford my own without a problem.
People die in Canada on waiting lists. I'm not allowed to pay for say an MRI, I have to wait until my "free" turn comes around. Many people in financial situations such as mine travel to the United States for treatment.

Yeah but there's a reason for that. If a sick little girl who's mother stays at home and who's father works in a factory 38 hours per week (because 40 would require them to give them benefits) needs a cat scan why should she have to wait longer because some prick who had money bought his way before her?
Public health care isn't perfect .. but private sucks just as much.
