I just had a bad accident and broke my finger requiring surgery, and despite having great insurance, our portion (that we've been informed of so far) is going to be $1500. My experience in the past with surgery is that bills will continue to arrive for weeks if not months from every health care associate who walks by the OR while I'll be in there, and this "covered" sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-75994548306884865442012-09-14T11:17:16.854-07:002012-09-14T11:17:16.854-07:00I have yet to figure out why our medical care is s...I have yet to figure out why our medical care is so poor yet so expensive.

I lived in the States for 12 years growing up and always had insurance but it was always something, something would happen and bill would be payed out of pocket. I would never move back with the way it is now. Come to Canada, it rocks.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601665916338224571noreply@blogger.com
