<<He didn't have to be poor, or careless, or in any sort of unusually difficult circumstances (other than the medical condition itself) to run in to these problems.>> I agree. <<But leaving aside numbers for a minute, yes there are health care horror stories in the US as well.>> I agree. What this thread constantly ignores are the constant stream of success stories swinging out the doors of Canadian, Swiss,British, Taiwan hospitals 24/7,with no threat of bankruptcy if calamity strikes, no worries about being denied coverage,no worries about people weaseling out and riding on the backs of others because all contribute...no negotiating costs with doctors and hospitals, showing tax returns ass kissing and it is all done at approximately half the cost of American system.
