[QUOTE="95Prober, post: 6247516, member: 557984"] Well, Im from Canada and I think our system is pretty good. I dont use my Medicare card often coz luckily Im in good health. However, it does give you piece of mind knowing that if you get into an accident or something and break a leg or need surgery, its free. You just show up at a hospital and give them your card. Pregnacies are totally free as well. What we hear on the news from the States is pretty scary. Also, please dont put too much into ads that have a Canadian going to the U.S. for treatment. Im sure it happens, but they are just hand picking people to make the system here look bad. We also have family doctors to make appointments with. Thsi is also free. But, of course, our taxes are higher so its not all "free". But since its in the sales tax or whatever, you dont notice it as much, but still paying into it in a way. The wait times are long at times, but nothing too severe. Not what they portray it on TV. If you make an appointment, then youll get in faster than someone who shows up on their door, unless its an emergency. What is the average state tax in the U.S. , around how much? [/QUOTE]
