When I hear horror stories like this I thank God that I live in Canada where we have healthcare. I can go to my family doctor - no charge, I can go to the clinic - no charge, I had a baby by c-section - no charge. My father had no less than 6 cancer surgeries - no charge. Now, thank God for his General Motors (retired) healthcoverage which covered the 500.00/week chemo meds for 6 months AND my mother's stay in a nursing home. But even the nursing home will take whatever income you have EVEN IF IT DOESNT MEET THE MINIMUM PAYMENT - the government health care makes up the difference.
It is time that the US came out of the dark ages & started taking care of their people.
