I believe that perscription medicine for any child under 16 or in full time education should be free of charge, and if you weren't living next to America comparing your health system to their appalling health system, you would most likely have a different view.
The Canadian government gets away with a lot by just pointing to the American system and saying ''well this is what could be happening''
From what I can tell, if you have countless children, don't work, marry a Native, leave school early, you get a free ride in life, where as people like your ''Lawyer'' who studied hard, applied themselves to their goals, are expected to pick up the tab, I disagree, peopel should be encouraged to work and have stable families, not punished because they achieved something with their life.
Yes CdnBear, I was in Canada visiting my in-laws and my son needed antibiotics, as they have dual citizenship, i was a little amazed to learn i had to pay $300 for my then 10month old sons perscription, if it were myself, then ok, but a child?....... my whole point is, surely rather than paying Mohammed Abduhl Musaki welfare to each of his ''4'' wives, it would be better spent ensuring every child was entitled to free health care.
P.S
The most annoying thing about my experience, the Dr decided at the end of the course it was the wrong perscription so I had to get another, again at my expense due to his incompetence.
