Hi Terren, You are right, I know that. I have the impression that a bad health situation can ruin people in the US. I have heard of stories of people refusing to call an ambulance after a serious accident, for fear of the bill. I think that another country were this is the case is South Korea. A colleague told me that it is common there for people there to invest in a second home, to use it to pay for the health bill in case they get cancer or something serious like that.
I guess what perplexes is that people seem to be more or less ok with this, when there is overwhelming evidence that a better systems is possible. Telmo Am Do, 14.
