Interesting to read. Up in Canada, our system is much different. Money wise. If you're over 65 like I am, all the health stuff is free. Even drugs. But the US dollar is worth $1.36 to one of our bucks.

I'm in my 4th year of a cancer recovery (search for cancer on my Substack home page if you'd like to know the story about that). It didn't cost me a penny out of pocket. Including a serious 3 hour surgery, recovery, follow-up visits with a care nurse, and a daily pill (Tamoxifen). Happy to be all OK now!

I have A LOT of thoughts about our healthcare system here in the US (and they're not complimentary.) I was grateful when the Affordable Care Act passed, because they based the premiums on my income, expenses, dependents, etc. It was...affordable. We should have universal healthcare and I support the folks who want to make it happen (among other important changes that I believe in.)
