Ask an American....

well i'm not saying our system is better than yours. our system has its draw backs but so does yours.

 

whats the #1 tourist destination in the states for an american?

 

i loved vegas. great place to visit and check out but i wouldnt want to live there.

 

freemont street is pretty spectacular.

 

what else is high on an american travelers list?

 

Can't really answer this question based on what I know of the Canadian system. Of course, like 90% of Americans, I have no idea of what "obamacare" consists of either. The talking heads on TV will sway the public opinion in the direction that their respective corporations deem to be correct.

I guess my main problem with American health care is the cost. I have insurance through my employer, and also a small supplemental policy. Bottom line though... even with insurance coverages, if I need a major, basically I'm fucked financially. I have seen a hospital bill for just under five weeks admitted with no major surgery that totalled over $400,000. Insurance covered the lions share, but there was still a hell of a bill leftover even after decades of a paid up policy.

 

i would love to go to moab when im 21. i went to bryce canyon last year and im going to check out zion canyon this year. utah is a beautiful state.

 

Used to be Florida/Gulf of Mexico for many in my area....well, you know the story aboot that.

 

thats a lot of cash.

 

oil spill?

 

never been to either of those but i've spent a fair amount of time in montana and its pretty nice.

 

Yes, and yes.

The 400k case was for pancreatic cancer, so there were a lot of treatments, but I distinctly remember seeing on an invoice a Lactade pill that was $17 for ONE pill. You get the idea.

edit: there were also $125 a piece blood thinner shots that insurance would not cover...twice a day.

 

thats crazy

 

Is say Hawaii is pretty high on the ultimate vacation list. Vegas is a great place for adults, but not so much for children/family vacation.

 

how many of you guys can skate or have riden a snowmachine?

 

To be honest, at the time, costs were not even being considered. But afterwards you're like WTF! when you start going through the bills/benefit payments.

 

costs shouldnt be considered when its cancer especially pancreatic cancer.

 

where is beech creek?
