2. What first came to mind for me was making healthcare free for everyone, but when I thought about link between healthcare and the reimbursement process, and life in general, I began to realize if we didn’t have to pay for some part of our healthcare then we would use it to much of an excuse in life.

Canada’s health care system serves to provide universal health care for all its citizens, regardless of income, medical history, or standards of living. Although this idea sounds rather appealing in theory it comes along with complications and is problematic in many ways. Despite Canada’s healthcare system being meant to provide universal healthcare to all citizens this often fails in regards to aboriginal people and people in Northern Canada, which includes the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and…
