MODERATORS
Considering the median individual income in Canada is close to $45k, that’s a good point. Maybe there’s an argument that seniors have additional living expenses with healthcare or living in an assisted living or full-time care facility, but I feel like it should then be a lower OAS clawback with supports available for those with particularly high expenses.
Or we could subsidize the health care and the assisted living, etc. facilities directly. I wonder if anyone's actually done a study on which is more expensive. (Of course, any attempt to do this would probably make certain whiny premiers raise even more jurisdictional issues.)
