Way less likely when you're a young person to be so serious that you can't work. And you have universal healthcare & disability in Canada.

Yes and no. "Universal" health care doesn't cover vision, dental, or mental health. In BC, "universal" health care is paid by one's employer. Which is great for people with steady employment, and awful for everybody else.
