You will care when you have some heart pain, and a $194,000 hospital bill. Which would bankrupt 98% of UCP voters. That’s the part I can’t wrap my head around. You haven’t paid for shit when it comes to health care.

I work with Americans every day. One just went and had a baby and got a $19k hospital bill for the privilege. Copay this and copay that.

Careful what you wish for.

I’ve not had health insurance in 8 years. Alberta won’t issue a card if you’ve no fixed address, and I’m a stubborn trucker with a mail box. I’ve sure paid for it though. The tax rates are insane.

So your favorite solution to that isn’t to fix that issue, it’s to privatize healthcare so you need to have private insurance instead? How do you think that will go, Mr I don’t have a fixed address? Why do you want to make sure more people have to deal with the same issue you’ve got?
