Sorry to hear about your daughter Chris.

I love Canada. But really, our health care isn't free anymore. We pay a lot of taxes for a lot of different health related things. In Ontario, the new provincial government is even working to further tax individuals each pay period for health care related expenses.

Personally, while I think that it's great that we have "free" health care for everyone, the only people who really benefit from it are people who don't work. They don't have to pay the taxes that in turn pay for our health care.

In the states, you can choose to buy comprehensive insurance and get covered for just about everything. You get to select the coverage that's right for you and pay for it.

For me, Canada is great for a lot of reasons, but health care (especially in Ontario) isn't one of them. I really wish that they'd change it, but people don't often look beyond the surface during an election.
