 When my dog is sick, he sees a doctor right away and it costs $40

When I get sick, I have to wait 3 months and pay 40% of my income for "free" healthcare 

🇨🇦🍁 
 It’s a doggy dog world 
 Sometimes there’s not enough doctors so you can’t be seen. Even when you pay the 40%. Thanks Justin 
 You just need to identify as a dog and problem is solved 🤣 
 🤣🤣🤣 
 Consider that lucky. I have family members who drove 7 hours (one way) for a 30 minute appointment to get a surgery appointment that normally has wait times of 2+ years— in the same country. I completely agree but you’re extra lucky. 
 It’s likely more than 40% when you factor in all the other tax. 
 Wow that’s insane 🤯 
 Do you want to talk about the guy who died in the hospital's elevator because the ambulance took a long time to arrive and the closest hospital was closed?

 That's why protecting your health by yourself is fundamental in this fiat world. No one will really come to help you 
 I don’t know where you go to the vet, but it tends to be $250 or more whenever I have to bring my dog in. 
 When my kids, my dog or I get sick, we take it easy for a few days & have a few of shots of CDS.

None of us are sick for long.
