This is a subject that makes me very upset. What is wrong with the US, it is supposingly the richest country in the world and yet 71 million of us are without health insurance. I was thinking, if I did contract SARS or any other illness for that matter, how would I (or any uninsued person) get the proper care without going into tons of debt? My husband and I own a business and to pay for the insurance premiums out of pocket is extremely hard, so we canceled it. We are both healthy so it was gamble that we took.
Anyway, what I understand is all Canadians get health care. I realize you have more taxes, but it makes so much more sense to insure all the citizens. What is wrong with our system?
Sorry, I had to vent :rambo: How do you feel about your health care system where you live? Do you get the kind of health care that you want?
Thought this was an interesting topic to discus.
