Having lived in both, I find health care about the same, with one main exception. In Canada a broken leg won't cost a family $8,000 and chemo-therapy won't cost $380,000. My wife is in the U.S., pays hundreds per month in insurance premiums, yet because of a pre-existing condition, diabetes and a kidney transplant, any complication such as kidney rejection, will not be covered (she's only 43). Look at the licence plate of the cars going to the ER's in Canada. NY, Florida, Georgia. US health care is good, but so few people will ever experience it's good side. Just wait till you get sick, then see how much insurance is really covering you. I'm a Canadian resident so get health care (it's not free but costs are contained and I have peace of mind knowing that when i see my doctor I won't lose an entire paycheck to cover the costs).Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922265697170263345noreply@blogger.com
