I still say that the best thing about health care in Canada is that it is universally available to all, no matter the condition, no matter the financial position or anything else in life.
When we lose that compassion, then I think we become like too many in the USA...where many of those who have insurance just don't seem to give a damn if their fellow citizens do not have adequate or any insurance at all.
No matter what our position is about vaccinations, or anything else health related, we still need compassion for our fellow man. We all have warts and what goes around, comes around.
Rather than denying health care, or forcing them to pay for health care, which I think is just plain mean spirited, those who think outside of the mainstream regarding vaccinations or whatever should face other consequences as a result of their actions.

But what about the compassion for people who aren't able to take a vaccine shot due to an illness or complication? Those people have no choice and shouldn't have to be exposed to the consequence of someone's decision on avoiding vaccines. I think by burdening the healthcare system with a decision deliberately made is unfair.
Also, I should point out that it is only uncompassionate if they are denied healthcare outright. Paying for healthcare in canada isn't foreign, as not everything is covered.
