I'm really glad I didn’t move to the states. We only have mrsi to worry about. And waiting lists. Closing hospitals.... Ok forget it. Allen

My family is relatively healthy so we got a HSA account, aka "Health Savings Account". It basically means that we fund our own insurance (tax exempt) for common doctor visits, but BCBS kicks in if the amount goes over $5K in a year. Basically, it's catastrophic insurance. What I like about it is that I become the customer of the doctor. Normally, the doctor is doing what the insurance company wants him to do. It's amazing how a doctor treats me differently when they learn that I'm paying the bill. I get much better treatment, IMO. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
