I'm Canadian and read this post with great interest. I'm not about to enter into a heated debate over the differences in our health care system and which is better, so you can stop reading if that's what you're hoping for
Background info on Canadian health care:
health care is handled on a provincial level, with funding from the federal government. I have an OHIP card, essentiall like my drivers licence, but green. With this card, I'm entitled to health care within Ontario and the rest of Canada.
That's my opening statement. If you guys want to ask me questions, I'll reply as best I can from the "Canadian" perspective.
MY MAIN POINT - PLEASE DISCUSS ORGAN DONATION WITH YOUR FAMILIES!!! I know here, even though I have signed my donor card and am above the age of majority, next of kin have absolute right of refusal to donate my organs should I die. I've spoken to my parents about this on numerous occasions and stressed that I want my wishes followed.
