Quebec will apparently charge unvaxxed people more for healthcare.
The thread is full of ignorant tantrums, which comes as no surprise.
It is big news. Whether there would be legal is different story. Though Quebec is not constitutionally part of Canada, so most likely they can do what they want. But I do think it creates a dangerous precedent — we’d be that much closer to creating a healthcare system that might surcharge obese people, alcoholics, smokers, etc., that clog up the system, not to mention those involved in higher risk activities.
And again, this is going to effect the poor more than the rich, it will effect immigrants, it will effect indigenous. Though mind you, Quebec has never cared about immigrants nor indigenous.
