The majority of Canadians approve of the Health Care System ... altho' they are prepared to see changes that improve it. What we will not allow govt. to do is to undermine the provision of health care, paid for out of tax revenue. The last Royal Commission on our health care system found that, even tho' improvements could be made, it was essentially sound, and supported Canadians.

A lot of money comes from taxes on cigs, gas (oops, petrol), and booze. The essentials of life, eh.

And, yes, the govt. can restrict health care spending, but any govt. which attacked the system would face years serving, not as govt. but as part of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.

Simply put, the NHS in England and OHIP in Ontario make sure that a person does not suffer or die because he can't afford care. Being poor sucks, but it is not a capital crime.
