Prune potion. I need to get rid of some of this stuff.
I suppose if you have NO healthcare it is better than nothing. But I am not hearing glowing reports about Canada's system. Many of their people come here and pay out of pocket if they can for major procedures. It gets done better and faster.Lydia Love wrote:I've thought about it.

I understand. no medical insurance is a bitch here. And probably the partially the cause of high medical costs. People have insurance, insurance companies have lawyers. Insurance companies don't like to pay if they dont have to and generate a lot of lawsuits when it benefits them. If EVERYONE had to pay for medical care out of their own pockets, it would be a lot less expensive, I think.Lydia Love wrote:I have no healthcare.
The last time I went to the doctor (the *first* time in many a year because I'm fucking poor and will likely always be fucking poor) a friend took me and paid for it, for which I'm eternally grateful.
If I break my leg tomorrow I'm fucking screwed. I don't give a shit if people in Canada have to wait years to get a mole removed. A serious injury *here* has me totally fucked.
Something would indeed be better than nothing.
Um... oopsie y'all... don't mean to get all political in the Bar but I'm in a shitty ass mood...
