What you don't seem to be getting is that your family is suffering in a government run health care system. This is not a problem with capitalism. All of the best medical systems in the world for quality and availability are two tier systems; and Canada is not even close to being one of the best systems in the world because it is a single tier universal health care system.


Okay then let us talk about USA healthcare system since it is still "private".  I can't even afford to go to the doctors if I get sick or injured.  Oh and I don't even have a doctor considering I haven't been to one in years.  Also, the healthcare plans that my contract company offers are a joke.  Why would I pay 35+ a week coming out of my paycheck for such a shitty plan?

I have dental and vision plans under my employer due to seeing actual savings with those plans.  Dental cost about 7 a week for me while vision is around 1 dollar a week.  These plans offer decent benefits.  However, going to their health plans the deductibles are high, the coverage is weak, etc..  I see no value in holding one of those health plans considering it would probably be less money if I just paid out of pocket if I really needed medical help then paying 35+ a week for a terrible health plan.
