They have written the healthcare rules here so that you can't opt out of the government plan unless your plan has equivalent coverage which in simple terms means that it covers everything (no copays) and covers pre existing conditions. This clearly rules out 99.9% of US plans.
I also met the one international student at the orientation from the US (we are 2% of the students in the orientation). I was elated, because frankly everyone spends a lot of time talking with people from the places they are from, and so far i've had no one to talk to. After talking for a few minutes I was reminded of some of the reasons I am in Canada right now and not the US . . . . which I guess is good, but now i'm not so enthused about talking about the US.
But now I am off to "Pizza in the Park" (our dinner event). Did I mention that I love the park?
