I agree Jeanna, we have a good health system here. We don't have private health but still we get to see all of the same doctors and get the same care we would do if we did have private health insurance. Gotta love those health care cards too. I got some Zofran the other day for Steve. On the packet it said full cost $133 but only cost us $5.30. When I see how it is in other countries it really makes me appreciate what a lucky country we have.
