It’s hard to take away entitlements once they exist, so the only future is really expanding it.

As an Ontarian lol. We used to have provincial eye care coverage. That's been gone for decades now. Government can and will strip services as they see fit just need assholes in charge.

I didn’t say impossible, just difficult. I still say expanding it is better than not, even if it’s not perfect.
