Bad, bad, bad idea, it costs $75 to have the Dr. extract foreign objects when they get stuck up the nose. I know from experience. |
It's free if you live in Canada. :D |
No, it's not. It's paid for by everyone contributing to a common pool according to their ability to pay and their (possibly) their risk factors;
rather like insurance companies in fact without the stockholders to siphon off the profits or the ability to exclude high-risk members ("cherry-picking").
Why people insist on allowing profit-making insurance companies but oppose "socialized Medicine" -- run by the same methods but with the pool of clients all-inclusive, and the taxpayers as the "stockholders" to whom "management" is directly accountable every 2-6 years -- "on principle" is beyond me ... The government's highest mandate is to provide for the best interests of it's citizens, not its corporations and their stockholders.
We now return to your regularly-scheduled humor programming ...

LOL you are actually right, we pay for it from our taxes. But NO one worries about needing that operation, no one goes bankrupt because they need to get a kidney transplant... :)
