What about your boss' MRI request caused him to be a statistical outlier in the Canadian system? That is not a normal wait.
Around 50% of bankruptcies in the USA are caused by medical bills. Do you think that causes worry, anxiety and stress?
"Thats what Democrats want for Americans?"
We are already there silly. It isn't a Democratic issue, it is an American issue that affects huge corporations, small businesses, government at all levels and health care providers.
