CBC: Canadian Free Health Care System Not Free Enough.

The CBC:

Canadian hospitals should follow Scotland and Wales and abolish hospital parking fees because they burden patients, a medical journal editorial argues.

“Parking fees amount to a user fee in disguise,” Dr. Rajendra Kale, editor in chief of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, wrote Monday.

“Those opposed to scrapping parking fees for patients need to recognize that such fees are, for all practical purposes, user fees and a barrier to health care. Using revenue generated from such surrogate user fees for health care is against the health policy objective of the Canada Health Act and could become the subject of a legal challenge,” he concluded.

Seriously? To the free loaders of Canada, getting completely “free” health care isn’t free enough. When you don’t pay for anything, nothing is good enough. This, dear readers, is the reality of the welfare state.
