I think you should do more research on the Canadian socialized health care system before you make such remarks. Canadians are well aware that they pay for the health care safety net through higher taxes. Believe it or not, the vast majority of Canadians
want this. Congratulations on being successful; most people aren't. So I'd say your opinion is vastly unpopular.
It's not a perfect system. Some wealthy people go so far as to cross the border to receive care. But they can afford the luxury.
And the bottom line is, when these sick people you don't care about have to go to the emergency room, you end up picking it up in taxes
anyway.
