we need to move to a preventative health model for our system.

Now if my job requires a lot of travelling, which requires me keeping all my receipts; gas, food, cabs, cell phone bill, clothing receipts, restaurants (meeting with clients); of the $19,936 in deductions on a 64K salary, and $8020 in deductions on a 40K salary -- I can claim almost everything off my annual taxes , which would theoretically have the government give me money back.
I'm in business school and surprisingly, I have never learned this category of claiming receipts off taxes while on company time.
Or simply accepting that you're going to get a lower level of care as you age. People die, I suppose we might just have to get used to dying a bit earlier.
nah, i think people should have more responsibility for their health. if they insist on smoking two packs a day, drinking until their liver rots, or carrying around an extra 200lbs, then they haven't done their part.
everyone could live more responsibly.
i have a co-worker that is about 450lbs. his hips were going on him, and he was in constant pain. his doctor told him that his knees would go next, and that he wasn't going to operate and give him new hips unless he lost at least 150lbs. he dropped that weight in six months.
the hips got replaced and damn it if he didn't put all of that weight right back on.
now his knees are going.
should we be paying for his poor decisions? on elective surgeries, maybe not. maybe my colleague is going to have to use a cane for the rest of his life.
our health care system already costs too much. . .it would cost even more if we went the american route.

Ding ding!So we can keep you children in the lifestyle you've become a custom to.
Check it at my salary..yeesh.. :-(
Be careful with that argument, although I don't entirely disagree with you, riding a motorcycle does not exactly do our part to make health care cheaper.
I probably would, too, if that were the case. Make more gross, then realize that it's just marginally more than before. Which would especially suck if you got a promotion that entails more work. I remember getting a promotion at one job where it wasn't worth the added stress. The raise was just like being paid overtime since you were working when you were supposed to be off work. So I was basically making just a little bit more than my old position if you counted the hours, but with way more responsibility and stress.I may have misinterpreted, but it sounds like you're complaining about making too much money!
I'm so sad I got a raise... think of the extra taxes I have to pay!
Actually, on that note, it is pretty depressing when you compare what your bonus was and what actually ends up in your bank account :sad7:
64K x .3115% = $19,936 in deductions.
40K x .2005 = $8,020 in deductions ..
sound right ?
i thought i paid extra insurance fees to cover that contingency? i choose to ride, so i take on extra costs to cover that choice, no?
AFAIK Insurance companies don't cover in-province emergency care, surgeries etc. My understanding is insurance companies cover physio and other things that OHIP wouldn't be paying for anyway.

(or a tool set if you are a mechanic).
