Yeah pharmacare is such an obvious thing (not to mention dental and vision), it just needs to be sorted out asap. It is unfortunately one of those things a lot of "middle class" people don't think about too hard because their work covers it.

That won't happen, our Tories will just start trumpeting about how all the either countries are privatising their health services, why are we stuck in the past?? And inevitably the press won't call them on it, and some ever larger fraction of Canadians will believe it.

Ive been working retail pharmacy for almost 5 years now and the number of people who take their plans for granted (ironically mostly boomers who retire early and oops now you need to cover the 62-65 age gap before OHIP kicks in) is terrifying.

It is unfortunately one of those things a lot of "middle class" people don't think about too hard because their work covers it. It was definitely an eye opener having to sort out insurance. My company drug card didn't want to go through, so I was told the price for some eye drops if I wanted them then. I don't remember the exact price but it was a "haha gently caress that, I'm going to make sure my company's paying for it." I can definitely see people who don't have any insurance hiccups being totally blind to how pricey that stuff can be. On the subject of vision, I can see that being a bit easier to get (some) people on board for? My company insurance barely covers it, and I know my dad had similar gripes about how much he had to pay out of pocket. It seems so mind blowing with how many people need glasses to function on a day to day basis that it isn't covered.

Oh yeah we have universal healthcare unless you count your eyes or mouth as part of your body and also unless you need any medication to stay healthy, wait what do you mean that doesn't sound universal

blatman posted:Bring on the privatized death panels The U.S. has had them for years. There's a story of a socialized medicine crusader in the 90s. He and his wife worked for an HMO as gatekeepers - reviewing claims and finding reasons to deny them. He and his wife made the company millions. Then his wife came down with terminal cancer. A clever gatekeeper in her HMO found a way to deny her claim so she died without coverage. Her husband had a Road to Damascus moment, quit his job, and spent the rest of his life lobbying for universal coverage. Knowing that story made Sarah Palin extra hilarious.

I really thought it was Scheer’s election to lose even before the blackface scandal but not beating Trudeau through all that was really an amazing testament to his unlikeability. Itl’m surprised it took this long for him to get forced out.

 There's a 90% chance Scheer wasn't embezzling money, this was all on the up-and-up with formal party structures and they're just leaking it now/pretending to be upset to embarrass him. There's a long and proud tradition in this country of party leaders legally getting a top-up to their salaries from party HQ.

Somewhere, Doug Ford and Jason Kenney have sudden, unexplained erections. Jason Kenney is very concerned with the sensation.

Welp, guess I was wrong about him resigning after all. HOWEVER, I don't see why anyone would be happy about this. He's totally going to be replaced by an even worse, farther-right candidate.
