Compelling. And one of the better accounts of care in another country I've heard (specifics, rather than generalities, will do a lot better job of currying my favor)

I don't even want to think of the medical bills my dad's going to have after his recent hospital stay. At least he's got medicare and supplemental insurance. If the same thing had happened to me, I'd pretty much have to declare bankruptcy. No other way around it. (And that's not fair to the doctors, who deserve to be paid for their work)

That is one of the big things that's wrong with the current system. I'm in the same boat.
