Poll: Most Canadians love single-payer healthcare except Alan, the single payer
MONTREAL A new poll shows most Canadians are either happy or very happy with the current single payer system, with the notable exception of 28 year old Alan Roberts, the man personally responsible for paying for everyones healthcare.
Its pretty stressful for me, Alan says. Its costing me around $230 billion a year. Im working three jobs right now but thats barely cutting it.
Alan started paying for Canadas healthcare system seven years ago when he lost the national round of Not-It that all Canadians play to determine who will pay for the countrys healthcare system after the previous single payer dies.
