Zeus:
I have a serious question for you (and Jlomon, you can pitch in too!)...
How is YOUR HC paid for up there?
Are your bank accounts tethered to the National Treasury? Is money taken from your accounts without your sayso? How are you notified of impending deductions? Are you even notified?
Do you have a "prior agreement" that settles the yearly "premium" for deductions, or are the deductions at the whim of the National Medical Insurance Czar (or whatever you folks have up there in Canada...).
Or, do you just have a "bit" taken out of your paychecks each payday?
Down here, the booberment wants us to hand over our back accounts and leave it to them to decide what each individual taxpayer is going to HAVE TO "CHIP IN" for themselves, and everyone else...
That's for starters...at least that's what we're getting ready to do...
