As of today, prescription medication for anyone under 25 in Ontario is free.— Jessica Langer, PhD (@DrJessicaLanger) January 2, 2018
Parents living in poverty can already take their kids to the doctor for free. Now they can get their kids’ medicine for free, too.
Makes me proud to pay my taxes. And proud to be 🇨🇦.
Interesting self-correction by Dr Langer:
"Yes, it’s not ‘free’, it’s no-cost at purchase. People like me pay for it through our taxes. As it should be" [emphasis added]
To which the only rational response is: Why?
But it gets better (for certain values of "better"):
"N.H.S. Overwhelmed in Britain, Leaving Patients to Wait ... At some U.K. emergency wards, patients are waiting more than 12 hours to be cared for."
Again free health "care." But as we keep asking, what good is "free" health care if one can't actually, you know, receive it?
We already see that happening here as a result of ObamaCare's narrow networks and sky-high out-of-pocket costs (even leaving premiums aside).
