At this point though, you are evaluating employers, not health care systems. It's pretty easy to find an employer in Canada that offers no benefit plan at all, just stay away from larger companies. Most privately run businesses would be more than happy contracting you at a higher rate and not paying you any additional benefits, or their share of CPP or EI. They are a significant expense to the company. Go get yourself a GST number and have at 'er. Seriously, if this is that much of an issue for you, you should talk to your boss. I can pretty much guarantee they'd be more than happy to work something out with you. |

No I'm not. One health care system outright makes that illegal, so it's the health care system defining this, not the employers.
On that note, have you ever lived&worked in a system other than Canada's?
I ask, because you think Canada is "right on the money" with their system... though it makes me think you've not seen how other systems do it.
Don't get me wrong, Canada's system is good, but if I were in a country about to radically overhaul health care, I would by no means adopt Canada's system as-is (or any other single country, for that matter)
> if this is that much of an issue for you
You miss the point here thinking this is about me... The overall effect on society is very interesting and speaks volumes about a given system. Without a doubt, because of this "group plan" idea, Canadians are tied much more strongly to their employer, and that results in employees being treated worse, and overall a "negative" impact on those around me.
I don't like that about Canada's way of doing it.
