I've always liked the idea of a receipt to be given to Canadians at the end of every year telling them what healthcare benefits they got and how much they cost.

I've always liked the idea of a receipt to be given to Canadians at the end of every year telling them what healthcare benefits they got and how much they cost.
It seemed like it would make people grateful that they had that service, but it also might make the people who pay disproportionately more than they use angry (and the nature of insurance is that most people put in more than they get)
- mattm 16y agoIf you are under 60, chances are you are paying disproportionately more in healthcare than you are getting. But this is how it goes. A large percentage of your lifetime's healthcare spending occurs in the last 6-12 months of your life. Given the choice, I would much rather pay more for healthcare than I am using. It means I am healthy. My health is more valuable than money.
