This is one of the most rediculous things I have read in quite a while.
Free. That's just absurd, and honestly the most conerning of all misconceptions about the mediocre universal health care system offered by my country. Not only is it not free but it is also substandard, as our wait times, mortality rates, and medical professional attrition rates would indicate.
As far as paying for our own but not choosing too, perhaps you were unaware of a recent Canadian Supreme Court decision that actually overturned a Quebec law FORBIDDING Canadians from doing just that...You know forbidding us from choosing. This brings up two important thoughts. Why would provincial governments be restricting this choice, and how pre-tel did the Canadian Supreme Court get involved in an issue no one was choosing to do? Hmmmmmm.
I am tired of Canadians touting health care as a positive of our Country. Our health care fucking SUCKS.
There are many many many excellent qualities about Canada. In fact many social, political, environmental, and general quality of life aspects that far exceed just about anywhere else, that cess pool of social experimentation in Hongcouver, or Vangroovy being the exception of course, but health care unfortunately is not one of them.
