in my ideal world id like a completely free market health care system. I would pay for the little things out of pocket, and have insurance for big expenses that would cover my hospital stay, procedures etc. I would easily be able to afford it with all the tax money id save. this system not only would be the best bc you'd be getting fast and efficient service like what your pet receives but it would encourage canadians to look after themselves, encourage healthy living. as it stands now im paying for lazy slobs to go in and out of the system, abusers that tie up the system and cause overcrowding for the rest of us. when the time comes and I need good care it wont be there for me hopefully I am out of this country by then. you know in asia people save for retirement, healthcare expenses. they don;t rely on the govt to look after them. when the west ruled the world we were like this, but now we are drowning in socialism with poor economies and huge amounts of debt.
