Amazing amount of negative spin put out there for folks and a lot of time mentioning Canada as a negative example of Health Care..

I got a call from a friend from Maryland, totally spooked.. As a Canadian, I am pretty pleased with $96 bucks a month I pay for myself and my wife for coverage.. But that does not cover dental or prescriptin. And as far as information goes, almost all of it is available online so google away..

As for negative, it depends where you live in Canada in terms of benefits.. Some are better then others.. Some optional stuff, you are on a waiting list.. For example, knee surgery.. If it is life threatening, no problem.. You get immediate help.. And while you are in the hospital, the cost is 0 to you as far as that goes..

And you can pick any doctor you want, change your doctor if you don't like and so on..

It is not perfect but I am not tied to my employer's good graces or declare bankruptcy for huge bills or afraid to change job etc..
