Editor: I see now the Quebec government is trying to tax the unvaccinated because of the heavy burden they are inflicting on our health-care system.
If the numbers are as they say, a hefty price tag is being spent on the treatment and care of the unvaccinated.
Since our health system has always been to treat and care for everyone no matter what their choice, it seems to me they are now veering way off course and should really think about the direction they are heading; American style health care. If we are going to charge the unvaccinated, it would only make sense in helping the system out even further, to tax the smoking population along with obese people. And let’s not forget the alcoholics who have caused so much death and destruction on our highways and to family life.
While we are at it, why not the Catholic Church too? They have caused such irreparable damage to the many health-care needs of the Indigenous population of Canada.
Our leaders are the ones who have weakened the health-care system to this point and for decades we have been underserved by their choice to cap the number of students entering our schools to become doctors. We are paying that price now.
The government has proven to me they are clearly not immune from making a lot of questionable decisions.
