		 What sucks is that if they have to pay this then we're the ones that'll feel it down the road with increased tuition and other costs.

		 Wow.  
 
Yet another outstanding example of the bureaucratic nonsense that is the hallmark of North American universities. Is it really that hard to not screw people over?

 It means everyone in the Faculty of Health Science who's work includes OHIP billable services, from Associate Clinical Professors to full Professors.

		 I hate to say it but McMaster has failed to impress me as one of the top Canadian universities. I am going into second year, but if I could go back in time, I would choose Western or Toronto over Mac.

 Lol, that's true. Toronto would be expensive. I think it's really unfortunate how only the richest people can get the best education. I wish I was super rich, I would go to the states to learn.
