I'm so glad I live in Canada. I can't imagine struggling with disease and medical bills at the same time. There is alot to be said for peace of mind and the ability to recover quickly. As imperfect as it is, I have to say that the medical system here has served me well.

Seems there is alot of news about waiting lists and lack of beds but on two occasions I had to use the emergency room and they got to me in less than an hour. They were quick, caring and effecient. Sure I had to manage as an outpatient and pay for a cab to and from the hospital daily but guess what, they taught me how to monitor my condition and care for myself at home. All lab tests, x-rays, drugs and medical fees were paid for by the govt. Whats wrong with that?

Why is the U.S. so afraid of universal health care?
