i dont want to misquote someone and am not sure if i've even done this quote thing right....... but about marriages between same gender partners .... someone said:

'it has the potential to bankrupt our health care system.'

'In the Canadian provinces where same sex marriage is legal, very few are being entered into. Possibly because they have socialized medicine and it healthcare is available without cost to all citizens.......'

'The question of same sex marriage is only an issue of economy. '

If someone needs health care, they need health care ..... whether married, widowed, divorced single or living common law ..... how can marital status 'break a health care system ?

Marriages between people of the same gender are now legal across our entire country ....
The debates held in pariliament over this issue were not about 'economics' but equality .....
Do all citizens have the same rights and responsibilities or not?
