So apparently, Canada has recently entered the wonderful world of deficits. To offset this, they're going to start charging a premium for healthcare. Now I understand the reasoning behind this, and really, $300-$650 isn't really that big of a deal. My problem is with politicians making promises that they shouldn't be. No politician should ever promise that they will not raise taxes or fees, because things happen, and a promise like that can very easily come back to bite you. Plus, the public needs to understand that their taxes pay for the structure of society.

Anyways, I'll try and post more about universal healthcare and why it should be a necessary function of government later. Work now.
