"OTTAWA - A new study suggests that the use of the health-care system in Canada, and mental health services in particular, differs by sexual orientation."

So, we in the TGLB community use less health care and a tad bit more mental health care.  Hmm.... I spend about $400 on an average visit to my doctor.  What does a shrink cost these days?  Is it $400?

So, it follows, (perhaps incorrectly but this is my opinion, so I'll be opinionated) that we spend LESS on health care?  Did I think through that correctly?

Wouldn't that keep health insurance rates down a bit?  They should be thanking us!
