    And in case you were unaware, you have to pay for your medical insurance.

    Did you ever ask yourself if socialized medicine is so great then why doesn't it work for dental in Canada? I mean, why not include it?

      It's included for seniors and kids under 18 based on parents or guardian income.

        Uh huh. Why doesn't Canada include everyone? Does socialized medicine work or not? It it works, why not include dental?

          Earlier, you said everyone pays for healthcare in Canada. That's not true. There are free riders.

              Allow me to explain. Some people don't work or make very little. The amount of medical bills accrued far exceed what they've paid in. In other words, free rider.

                Sure, some people aren't as well off as others and that's one of the good things about universal health care. Everyone is eligible, it doesn't matter how wealthy one is.

                  Why won't you answer my question? If socialized medicine works so well, why doesn't every Canadian have coverage? You can't answer, can you?

                    Everybody does have coverage. That's just a stupid question. You just quoted on my statement saying exactly that.

                      You know I'm talking about dental. Obviously, you can't provide an answer.

                        Why are you dying on this "gotcha"? The reason there isn't universal dental yet is because of cost.
                        At the moment Canadians pay, in taxes, half of what US citizens pay for health care. Whose getting ripped off? Congratulations on your contributions to keeping billion dollar insurance companies viable.
