Re: The $55 medical fee
The roads, electricity and water are paid for by the citizens of this socialistic country.
And I have paid a hell of a lot more than most of you here having owned many businesses over many decades so I am entitled to use them.
The health care system in Canada is a joke compared to what it should be so I sure hope I never get realy sick and have to depend on the eight to five, five days a week except holidays hours this system operates on.
For sure I have considered living elsewhere, but at my age it is not worth all the effort it would require to sell my holdings and move.
By the way if I did decide to move one of my first choices would be Belize.
Hypocrisy huh, well O.K. if that makes you feel better but at least while I am still here I sure pay a lot into the system, especially compared to the average slave wages earning pilot in Canada.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Re: The $55 medical fee
TC withheld my new type rating sticker last month due to just one $55 fee (last years med) until I paid it in full.Cat Driver wrote:You think?I think they can refuse to issue a new one.
But you don't know do you?
So let me educate you on this subject.
They can not refuse to issue any new documents because you do not pay their extortion fee.
Their ace in the hole is they can collect it through your income tax returns....but only if you have overpaid your taxes.

With all due respect to your logic and common sense I prefer a reference. Especially given blueontop's actual experience.Cat Driver wrote:Rockie, my opinion is based on logic and common sense.

Belize does have a number of public hospitals but most expats prefer to use the private clinics.
But since all these facilities lack the quality care of hospitals in the U.S. and neighboring countries, some many expats leave Belize for more complicated types of medical treatment

Everything has an end, except a sausage, which has two!
Re: The $55 medical fee
With approximately six years of fees owing to TC, I have had my ATPL processed in one months time, many medical stickers issued, two aviation documents (license booklets) issued and a few collection letters.
If they want it, take it off my tax return!

Re: The $55 medical fee
It's always puzzled me why people would not only refuse to pay their minor legitimate bills, but put their ability to earn a living in their chosen field at risk by doing so. Then boasting about it.
To me it displays a very strange set of priorities.

Re: The $55 medical fee
I'm not boasting, simply sharing my experience with the issue and how I believe it could be solved.
What "minor legitimate bills" are to you, may not be to others.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one...

Face it, the fee is to pay over paid under worked government Liberal voters. Suck it up or stop voting Liberal.
