  What a smart and efficient way to disburse taxpayers' money. Productive Canadians don't even have access to a primary care physician and have to crowd ERs (the most expensive way to dispense medicine) to get much needed diagnosis ad care.
  
  That's what free stuff gives you: a ticket on a waitlist to nowhere. The probability to experience a health glitch in life is very high. Don't count on your country or province to be there for you if the glitch is severe. You will be left to fend for yourself and if you don't have the financial resources to get care in the US, you'll end up dead on the street... I guess next to the addicted folks who will get care instead of you.
  
  Bravo Mr Lake and Dr Philpott (Dr? Really? She has a PhD?). What an amazing way to get the healthcare priorities inorder.
