I have a theory that everything always balances out in the end.

One way or another, I’ll bet you end up paying somebody somewhere sometime.

If not, good for you for beating the system! There always has to be an exception to a rule and it might as well be you as some scumbag politician.

Just for the record, I didn’t say Canada’s health care system was “bad” or “too expensive”. I just freak out when I hear people say it’s “free” and “paid by the state”.

Doctors in Canada get rich off somebody and l’etat, ce’st moi!

Mr. Waymark has a point about teenagers but they’ll be paying more than their fair share later!

20. JImR :- Obvious didn’t hang out with my sort then! I had my pant leg lit by a friend when I was thirteen, wearing long underwear and fake-wool socks…. they all melted onto my leg and caused third degree burns… couldn’t walk for a weeks…. still, it was all in the name of a good joke so no hard feelings…

Okay, We got in a lot of trouble when i was a teen. but lighting myself or anyone else on fire (on purpose) wasn’t even fleetingly considered.

#15 yeah, but here in the states we pay double the amount per capita than Canada does*, and at least you can actually get covered there. Here, if you’re already sick, no one will insure you. * http://tinyurl.com/32j8mb

15: Come to the US. You’ll LOVE our system. You pay more than you do now in Canada and then get dropped when you get sick. Gotta love the free market! Down with the government!

15. Cineadh: If you are a teenager, and don’t pay taxes, its free….

When I was a young lad we never used poofy body sprays to ignite each other, we used Roman Candles, Bottle Rockets (which were and maybe still are illegal in Canada so we had to sneak over to the USA and buy them there… God Bless American!), or, in a real pinch, just fill a ping pong ball with ‘strike anywhere’ match heads!

Pah! Body sprays… what up with young kids these days!

#9, Jess,

That is so sick. It is also so funny.

#11, Scott,

That is serious stuff. I would have preferred to see some more hard statistics though.

Canada’s health system is neither “free” nor paid by “the state”.

It’s expensive and it’s paid for by the taxpayers, just like everything else the government doles out!

This is obviously caused by the kids having knowledge of Canada’s free, state paid health system.
