to hear this.

I just spent 3 hours on the phone dealing with healthcare issues. But mostly resolved; and no money involved.

There are definitely problems with Canadian healthcare...but I have to say...compared to what many Americans deal with...I am now thanking the gods each and every day that my family, with it's long list of pre-existing issues...is living here in Canada.

On CNN this a.m., John Robarts interviewed the father of the kid rescued from the burning vehicle...he asked if they had healthcare to pay for the ensuing long-term treatment of the child...the answer? No.

The father looked mightily worried.

Yeah. For FUCK's sake is right. I am so sorry. I will never ever take our system for granted again.
