75 per cent of Canadians in British Columbia say they would be willing to cough up a $5 fee to see a doctor or to go to a hospital emergency room
Can this be the birth of a co-pay in Canada?

It's not the co-pay issue to me, it's understanding that medicine isn't free.
One of the commenters to an ED abuse rant suggested the following: charge $5 to be seen in the ED, but so as to not discriminate against the truly needy, give patients $5. However, there should also be an ice-cream stand that charges $5, and the prospective patient can decide if they need to be seen or need ice cream.
I think it's potential genius.

You need to have a bar nearby, too.
Maybe with Beer-Nuts and Vicodin in the vending machines.
