Let's not get into that debate. The Canadian health care system is so flawed it's disgusting. Anyone making over 100k annually in this country pays over 45% income tax, that should be plenty, add that to the 15% HST tax which applies to vitrually EVERYTHING you purchase and adds up to 60% is taxes.
This is disgusting, and unacceptable. There is a reason all of the best doctors and scientists and business people leave Canada immediately after they finish their schooling.....
Have you ever broken your clavicle, and known you had seriously damage, which needs immediate attention only to find that you have an 8 month wait for an MRI?
As a result the damage which could have been possibly repaired if worked on immediately is now permanent and causes you daily pain. This same MRI could have been had in under a week with private coverage under the American system.
If I could opt out of the current health care in exchange for lower taxes, I could easily afford private health care and have money left over....
If America is forced into universal health care your country will be so screwed financially, the Chinese Yuan will replace the U.S. dollar as the global currency within a year or two.
Anyways let's try to keep this thread focused on the awesomeness of the new kit!
