I believe you are still covered every 2 years. If it's medically warrented (ie. Diabetes) it's every year, but that's still covered. I have to go every year because of my diabetes. And quite franly if I had to pay I wouldn't go.
Health care will never be fully privatized. Because Canadians would never stand for it. Honestly as much as I bitch, I'm glad we still have our health care the way it is. It's still hell of a lot cheaper for me, even if I have to pay an arm in a leg in taxes, because I can't get health insurance, or even if I did it'd be paying 2 arms and 2 legs for it!
