I am a Canadian (hence the name) but I have worked on committees trying to get universal care here in some form for years. They have it the next province over and how it runs is that there are a set amount of spots at 7$ a day. The government subsidises the remainder. If you choose and are so fortunate as to get one of those spots then, there it is. If you go another route and pay privately that is your choice, too. You will get a receipt for your amount and carry on as usual.

I am a bleeding heart lefty, though so I support all this free education, free medical etc. I don't mind paying taxes that go to helping others and would rather see that than see the money going to buying weapons.
