    Yes I would because they need it some day we will be elderly and at Any time we could become disabled face it we all waste $10 a week on sodas lotto tickets beer cigarettes etc...........

  • I live in Canada and we have free health care, thank God. But I would gladly pay $10 a week for our system if I had to. I just had to go and have a bunch of test done, and I thought "what if we had to pay for all this?" it must be awfully expensive

    you mean stop paying the $150 a month I pay now and pay only $10 a week. you bet I would. Even if it was $10.00 per person per week it would only be $10 a month more now and when I retire it would save me $100's a month.

    Sure would.....Why? Because one of these days, that will be me, care and services for the elderly have been on a steep and scary decline for years now. I'd at least like the THOUGHT of having my healthcare fairly decent when I retire.

    If you pay $10 a week for free health care it's not nessesarily free anymore is it now? But to answer your question I will pay.

    Nope.

    Make it $30 a week and cover absolutely everyone, and I'm in. Be less than I'm paying now. LOL.

    I'd be happy to do so. Hell, I'll even pay $20.

    I don't know. I wouldn't want substandard healthcare.
