Still leaching off Canada's efficient single payer system? I don't blame you, but be honest for a change. Leaching? Given the percentage of income tax used for medical costs in Canada, I could spend $200,000 on a double-lung transplant and they'd still be in the black as far as my contributions are concerned. Rich, you're an anonymouse--you can make up any "details" about your life you want to. My contempt for these people should tell you I'm telling the truth. What taxes the socialized healthcare systems are people who abuse them and who live lifestyles that make expensive procedures a common thing for them. Some loser drug addict goes into a coma from an overdose, spends six weeks in public-funded intensive care unit at a cost of $1500-$5000/day, why should the system pay for this? F--- them, let them die. Same with the disgustingly fat overeaters, smokers and the other drags on they system. |
