I mean this is serious. My brother-in-law came here from Hong Kong 30 years ago and worked hard all his life. When he needed medical attention for stomach cancer he was jacked around and died earlier than he needed to. He had to compete not only with the priority access people mentioned above, but with all the recent immigrants who have equal access even though they have not been paying in. And he could not even reach into his savings to save his life. He was a telephone repairman all his life. He was no rich right wing businessman. He was not even a Merlot drinking, sushi eating, Liberal loving lawyer Something is wrong here.

他对一些回贴的回答:
Do people here have trouble reading? 1) I stated that some people have preferential access to health care. WCB patients, politicians, and anyone with an emergency conditions such as drug addicts who overdose on drugs. I did not equate any of these people with immigrants. 2) Recent immigrants do not overuse the health system, nor did I suggest they do. However they have equal access to it. If there were not serious restrictions on health care access this would not be a problem. However, since some procedures and diagnostic services have 12-18 months or longer waiting periods, Canadians have to ask themselves if it is fair that someone who just arrives gets equal access. I, for one, do not think that it is fair. 3) As to the position that immigrants will help our aging population problem. This is a fallacy. I quote below from a recent US study. Immigrants' impact on the aging of society is very slight. Immigrants help Canada if they can provide job skills that are lacking and earn enough to pay above average taxes. Our present immigrant system does not achieve that result on the whole. I am not talking about individuals.
