agreed - mostly I was just teasing... However the one thing I do appreciate is not having to choose between living and "living" for some having poor health care or no health care (in a non social medicine cointry) drains the wallet in a big way... Even if you have coverage - my husband has extra insurance through his company. It runs maybe $100 a month from his paycheque... Covers everything, dental, glasses, prescriptions, braces, massage, physio - etc... For the whole family - I've never payed more than $5 for any prescription - and if I get them filled at Walmart (lower dispensing fee) I pay nothing...
also I'm free to choose which hospital, and which dr. I will be treated by... Mind you the states has 10 times more people than we do! Hugs all.
