Dan; I would not live under a system where one could lose everything they had worked their life for, due to an unfortunate and unexpected illness. Fantastic perspective from a Canadian. Thanks for posting. steve

I would not live under a system where one could lose everything they had worked their life for, due to an unfortunate and unexpected illness. What about due to a crime, say an arson or a murder? What about due to a tornado or a flood or a lightning strike? What about due to a law suit? What about due to an accident? What about due to a rumor? What about due to bigotry? What about due to politics? Would you live under such a system? If you would, and given that you do, what makes illness different?
