I'm like you Gracie. I can't really understand much of what the article says...for instance:
"Long-term care. In 2011, workers can enroll in a national insurance program to cover non-medical services in case of disability. After a five-year vesting period, the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports program will provide individuals who become disabled with a benefit of about $50 a day. The program will be financed with voluntary payroll deductions."

What are non-medical services for disability? Taxi rides, housekeepers, someone to bath you? I'm just asking. A benefit of $50 a day for a nonmedical disability? What does that mean? Voluntary payroll deductions? How much is the "voluntary" deduction for a five year vesting period?
