    As a Canadian, I will always find that absolutely unbelievable about American private health care … when someone or a family is at their lowest and during the most terrible times of their lives and health care people go up to them and say … ‘We’re sorry for your suffering and your loss … but here’s the medical bill you owe money on’

    • We arent that far behind. I’ve had to pay for tons of private services out of pocket here in quebec.

      Basic shit like dermatology and MRIs

        Really depends. Hospital wanted $500 up front before they’d do anything for my pregnant wife. Then bills after too.
