    Why don't you all move to Canada. :salute:
    I read this post and almost cried for you all!
    If I broke a bone, it would be free to repair. Except probably my skull. That might need surgery. But most things are free i believe, except staying over night, major surgery, and I think you have to pay to have a baby and to die. (which is STUPID... life and death should be free, I don't have much of a choice)
    The bad part is when you go to the Emergency Room you have to sit for half the day or even longuer depending on your problem. But i heard in Alberta you can pay for medical now (like the USA) and you can get service a whole lot faster. Don't know for sure!

    Now I think Blue Cross is like 25-30 bucks a month or more depending on your age and smoking status. Not a bad deal I guess.
    And most employers have benefits now, so they cover most medical supplies and medications, so you don't need blue cross

    I'd like to get my tonsils out soon and I'm pretty sure my work benefits will cover the cost of that... in the US you have to pay a grand eh? I snor loud! REAL REAL LOUD! Like I'm talking louder then a stereo going pretty loud. LOUD! :sleepy:

    This is going to be a good one im my book. I happen to like his moveis. I know that not everything is true but he dose have some good points and I would really like to see this one. I to have major health problems and even being a military spouse I'm going to have to pay $12,000 out of pocket to get my mouth fixed. I weigh in right now at 89.6 lbs at 5 foot 3 inches because I cant chew my food. I only have a few teeth that are not infected. I'm constenaly haveing to get on different antibiotics each moth to control the infection. I already had blood posioning 3 times from this.

    I'm not sure what kills me more -- the cost of my monthly insurance or paying cash for visits. If I had something life threatening, I know it would pay off in the long run... but... My birth control alone costs me 55 dollars a month, insurance won't cover a penny of it. In fact I think the majority of the meds I have taken in the last five years, my "rx plan" has only covered a miniscule amount of -- we're talking 5, 10 dollars. And yet even if it did, my insurance drains the life out of my paycheck. One year waiting period or not, you guys have it made up there. :D

    I just asked my buddy, cause I dont know much about birth control prices and he says his girlfriend pays 5 bucks for it. Its even cheaper then buying condoms. WILD!
    Some day I think the US will do something like Canada does. Id like to see that. I have family in the US and my old grandma is there. Expensive stuff being old!
