Poll: Most Canadians love single-payer healthcare except Alan, the single payer

Poll: Most Canadians love single-payer healthcare except Alan, the single payer

MONTREAL – A new poll shows most Canadians are either happy or very happy with the current single payer system, with the notable exception of 28 year old Alan Roberts, the man personally responsible for paying for everyone’s healthcare.

“It’s pretty stressful for me,” Alan says. “It’s costing me around $230 billion a year. I’m working three jobs right now but that’s barely cutting it.”

Alan started paying for Canada’s healthcare system seven years ago when he lost the national round of Not-It that all Canadians play to determine who will pay for the country’s healthcare system after the previous single payer dies.
