No it doesn't suck, only a government leech would say that.
No, it doesn't suck. Most people have coverage, and some of those that don't do so on purpose. For some, it's cheaper to simply pay for their doctor visits out of pocket when they have to go rather than paying for insurance every month. For others, they simply can't afford it. But then, you always have to look at the fact that hospitals are required to see an emergency patient regardless of whether they have coverage or not.
If you want to ask us what its like to be in a country with no government sponsored healthcare, I'd suggest you take a look at the quality of our healthcare compared to those who do do have the government involved. Our system is more efficient, it's quicker, it's of better quality, and it costs a hell of a lot less on the average person than if they had to support it via taxes.
Remember: Free healthcare is one of the most expensive forms there are.

Hahaha Michigan.
Canada may be a lot of things but our free health care is an amazing system. Sure it has it's flaws and it may cost tax payers more but in the long run it's only benefiting the public. Not to mention, to all the Americans who poke fun at it, just remember it next time you're crossing the border to get our free flu shots or much cheaper prescription drugs instead of paying on your side.
Welllllll. I kinda like it here. Theres several ways for people to get healthcare. K-chip, medical cards ect for low income and many hospitals have low income programs for help in paying medical bills. Honestly I have good insurance but once upon a time I have relied on one of these programs for help. It worked just fine. Its a helluva lot bette than the alternative.
