We may lose what we have down the road - I really hope not. Our healthcare is detiorating. It is still one of the best in the world - and we pay high taxes for it - I am very grateful - I just hope it doesn't keep going the way it is.
Privatization has started and is common in cities - paying user fees for the "convenience" of the clinic being in your community.
One of my fav things about Canadian government has always been the way they run the healthcare systems so it is scary to see it going that way.
