My optometry was covered for up to $400/2 yrs through my job which is pretty standard (also garbage). I got lasik for $4k and my healthcare covered $25. How is that cheaper for them than $400 every 2 years for the rest of my life?
Also, fuck privatized healthcare and all the provincial governments that are making it harder for public healthcare.

You do understand how your job contracting with a mercenary healthcare organization like Great Northern or PBC to fund eyeglasses, and take that money away from you and the country, is wrong-headed in the way it’s funded and administered, right? Since orgs can set whatever price to your job they want, and your job’s only options are how badly they wanna be screwed and by whom, that it’s very American in its setup.
A single-payer system that also doesn’t pay for useless c-suite bonuses (and wages) and can dictate rates for the baseline lenses and UV coating needs only handle regulatory inspection and the rest of the savings is passed onto our tax proceeds.
in short: you paid $400 now, but it should be .025% tax on your gross instead, ensuring people below the poverty line pay $0.
