I am thankful I was able to cover cost and have insurance too. a Canadian friend of mine told me that in Canada it gets worse the older you are. Lets say at about 45 years of age you find yourself in need of a coronary bypass, they will do it, but if you are 75, then you may be denied and will have to pay 100%. I guess they feel that the 45 year old will still be contributing to the economy as opposed the the 75 year old. The over costs are crazy and i guess much of it deals with malpractice insurance and to cover the costs of those who do not pay and have no insurance. Yep, no free lunches, the money has to come from somewhere.
