ND | redoak - 12/1/2012 05:32 Reading post below about the serious accidents and injuries I just cannot understand why USA would not have a health care system like Canada . This week I had 1 nephew get a knee rebuilt,another nephew get a degenerated bone repaired in leg and niece who is a ICU nurse developed a brain tumor and had it removed. There hospital and medical bills cost them 0.We do pay higher income taxes and have a goods and service tax but we can get medical treatment with out losing our homes . And niece and 2 nephews are doing fine.
Then we would have no coffee can at the bank to collect donations for the uninsured and under insured and also no spaghetti dinner benefits which only amount to a drop in the bucket what the medical field charges. Also no medical bankruptcy,
A study done at Harvard University indicates that this is the biggest cause of bankruptcy, representing 62% of all personal bankruptcies. One of the interesting caveats of this study shows that 78% of filers had some form of health insurance, thus bucking the myth that medical bills affect only the uninsured. |
Why no universal health care
