Am I alone in thinking the proposed new design is ugly as sin? Why the yellow, to represent the prairies?

I don't even know where my AHS card is. I have the number memorized and I've never been asked to prove that with a card...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think at the end of the day, it's just a matter of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. The topic of moving away from a paper health care card was brought up again earlier in the year but was brushed off as being too expensive to implement at the moment, but they could have totally piggybacked onto the deployment of these new cards.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Yeah I had an accident a couple weeks ago and I don't even carry my AHS card or have my number memorized, but I do have that information uploaded on my website so I was able to retrieve it pretty easily which was more than enough for EMS. Clearly I didn't have a concussion if I was able to pull up the address and enter the password hahahaThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I think you have the option to have separate cards or not - my health card is on the back of my driver's license.

Completely agree, the current cards are A+, the new ones look like embarrassing pieces of garbage. Change for the sake of change, hurray!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They’re changing it because it’s more secure. You know, because the current one is so easy to fake.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I'm assuming then these are printed at the registries and not this ridiculous practise of having people drive around with a paper license for weeks while they mail one from a central facility for "security" reasons.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Excited for the tin like sound it makes when dropped on a hard surface.

When I lived in Vancouver my first licence and Health card was separate, because I had just moved there. I also was only allowed to have a 2 year licence. When I renewed I had the option of getting them integrated, and got a 5 year card. So much better having one card instead of a card and a piece of paper that you aren't even allowed to laminate. I took a picture of mine and had it on my phone, so that when it gets beat up in my wallet I could still show them a picture of what It looked like at the beginning.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Sadly, no.. I still had to cram a stupid yellow piece of paper in my wallet for a couple weeks before I got the new licence.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I will however get to re-experience the joy of having a paper health care card (wtf alberta) in a few weeks when I move back.
I really like how convenient it is to have the cards combined, it just sucks when you get ID'ed because that card only counts as one card - so you're digging for another piece of IDThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

do you get asked for a second piece of ID often? i can't remember the last time i had to show 2 piecesThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They are. My brother renewed a few weeks back and was surprised when he received a completely different design. At that time, i do not think it was even public knowledge. Pretty cool in person, but at the end of the day it is just a drivers license.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I do, I think it's just policy of govt. liquor stores - I honestly don't think I pass for a 20 year old, but they usually ask me for 2 pieces of ID when I buy liquorThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I always got hit with 2 pieces at the weirdest times. A dive pub in Halifax wanted to pieces, so I showed them my Visa and it was ok. I was at a bar bowling in Vancouver and I was asked for a second piece of ID. Didn't have my credit card, but had an expired AB license. Used that as my second piece, along with my BC license. Everyone at the table was laughing because they couldn't believe the guy accepted it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
